System Options

Security

User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on first access. New 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 con- trollers on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).

IP Address Filtering

Allowed IP Addresses - The administrator can add up to 256 IP addresses to this list. If the IP address filtering checkbox is checked, the AXIS 241Q/241S will only allow access to requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.

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 241Q/241S into external Web pages, check the Referrals box and enter the IP address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Multiple IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)

Notes: If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.

•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP address filtering must be enabled.

•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter- ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.
