This section explains how to enable password protection and create multiple accounts.
Root Password
The administrator account name is “root”, which is permanent and can not be deleted. If you want to add
more accounts in the Manage User column, please set a password for the “root” account rst.
1. Type the password in both text boxes, then click Save to enable password protection.
2. A window will be prompted for authentication; type the correct user’s name and password in their
respective elds to access the Network Camera.
Manage Privilege Advanced Mode
PTZ control: You can modify the manage privilege of operators or viewers. Check or uncheck the item,
then click Save to enable the settings. If you give Viewers the privilege, Operators will also have the
ability to control the Network Camera through the main page. (Please refer to Main Page on page 21.)
Allow anonymous viewing: If you check this item, any client can access the live stream without entering a
User ID and Password.
Manage User
Administrators can add up to 20 user accounts.
1. Input the new user’s name and password.
2. Select the privilege level for the new user account. Click Add to enable the setting.
Access rights are sorted by user privilege (Administrator, Operator, and Viewer). Only administrators
can access the Conguration page. Operators cannot access the Conguration page but can use the
URL Commands to get and set the value of parameters. For more information, please refer to URL
Commands for the Network Camera on page 109. Viewers access only the main page for live viewing.
Here you can also change a user’s access rights or delete user accounts.

2. Make necessary changes and click Update or Delete to enable the setting.
