AXIS 214 PTZ - System Options
System Options
Security - Users
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
the first access. Other users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the
administrator can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as
described below.
Users - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:
• Viewer - the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live
View page.
• Operator - an Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types
and adjust certain other settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems
Options configuration pages.
• Administrator - an administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can
determine the registration of all other users.
To add a new user, click the Add... button and see the online help.
User Settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
• Enable anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
page.
• Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the
number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on
bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.)
• Enable anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the
Pan/Tilt/Zoom controls on the Live View page.
Security - IP Address Filter
The administrator can add up to 256 IP address ranges or single IP addresses to the Filtered
IP Addresses list. If IP address filtering is enabled, the AXIS 214 PTZ will allow or deny
requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.
See the online help files for information on how to add IP address ranges.
The IP addresses for the users added to this list need to be specified in the user list, with the
appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).
Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the
AXIS 214 PTZ into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP
address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video
stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)
