User access control is enabled by default, the administrator sets the root password on first access. Other users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:

Users - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:

Viewer

Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page

Operator

An Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other

 

settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems Options configuration pages.

 

 

Administrator

An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can determine the registration of all

 

other users.

 

 

User Settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:

Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.

Anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls on the Live View page.

IP Address Filter - The administrator can add up to 256 IP address ranges or single IP addresses to the Allowed IP Addresses list. If the IP address filtering checkbox is checked, the AXIS 213 will only allow access to requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.

See the IP address filtering help files for information on how to add IP address ranges.

The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).

Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the AXIS 213 into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)
