Add user

To add a new user, type the new user’s name in the Username box, the password in the User password box, and select authorization level by checking I/O access or Camera control. Click on Add to insert the entry. The VPort 2140 Video Server has a total of 20 user accounts. Each user can be given independent access right of the external I/O access and camera control.

Manage user

If the access rights of some users need to be changed, find the user name from the drop down list and click on Edit. A new window will appear for administrators to change the password and select a different authorization. Administrators can also delete the selected user by clicking on Delete. A message window will open next to confirm.

Snapshot mode

A maximum of 20 users can view VPort’s images at the same time. Administrators can select the Allow more guests with snapshot mode option to enable the snapshot mode for more users. In this case, when the number of users exceeds 20, users will see the main page in snapshot mode instead of seeing normal video images. Snapshot mode is very useful for web attraction. In this case, configure the Snapshot interval to achieve better performance. Increasing the time interval between snapshots allows more users to use snapshot mode.
