User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
first a
ccess. New users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator

HTTP/RTSP Password Settings
- Select the type of password to allow. You may need to
allow unencrypted passwords if there are viewing clients that do not support encryption,
or if you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients do support encryption
but need to log in again and be configured, to use this functionality.
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 - allow
s any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom
controls on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
If the available bandwidth is limited, you may
want to limit the maximum number of
simultaneous viewers. Note that a multicast viewer is counted as one user.
IP Address Filter
Check
the Enable IP address filtering box to enable the IP address filtering function. Up to
256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses).
Click the Add... button to add new filtered addresses.
When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses
added to the list are set as allowed or
denied addresses. All other IP addresses not in this list will then be allowed or denied
access accordingly; that is, if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are
denied access, and vice versa. See also the online help for more information.
Note that users from IP addresses that
will be allowed must also be registered with the
appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator). This is done from Setup >
System Options > Security > Users.
