Pelco C2631M-A manual Definition of User Access Levels, Definition of Camera Security Access

DEFINITION OF USER ACCESS LEVELS

There are four predefined user access levels or groups. User access levels range from the Administrator group to the Restricted group. By default, the system starts up with a default Guest account. The Admin user can assign automatic login for a specified user. For information about setting up auto login, refer to Assigning Automatic Login Permission to a User.

The Guest account has Restricted user access. The following table describes the default user group access rights.

DEFINITION OF CAMERA SECURITY ACCESS

The administrator can limit the cameras that users are allowed to view. Access to a camera is determined by its security designation. The Admin user can configure access rights to any user group, for any of the following functions:

•Camera security

•View live video

•Operate PTZ

•Playback video

•Set PTZ

•Access export menu

Only users with High Security access can view cameras designated as High Security. Medium Security cameras can be viewed by users with Medium Security access and higher. All users except Guest can view Low Security cameras. All users can view No Security cameras.

The following table summarizes default camera security levels and user access.

MODIFYING USER ACCESS RIGHTS

The Admin user can alter default access rights of lower level users. In this case, any permission granted to a lower level user, must first be granted to all other higher level users. For example, export rights must first be granted to the Standard user before they can be granted to a Restricted user.
