Understanding the IP Camera User Interface

After you log in to the IP camera as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera” section on page 2-6, you can access the IP camera windows and perform a variety of administrative and user procedures.

The links and activities that you can see and access in the IP camera windows depend on your IP camera privilege level. Privilege levels are configured as described in the “User Settings Window” section on page 3-30and include the following:

Administrator—Can access all IP camera windows, features, and functions.

Viewer—Can access the Camera Video/Control window with limited controls, and can access the Refresh, Logout, About, and Help links from that window.
