The AXIS M3203/AXIS M3204 network camera supports differen
t methods of user authentication:
HTTP Basic Authentication
- This authenticates the user by requesting a user name and a password. The exchange of network
credentials is in simple base64 coding and is not encrypted.
HTTP Digest Authentication - Th
is method also requests a user name and password, but the exchange of credentials is
encrypted, which secures it against eavesdropping.
HTTP/RTSP Password Settings - Select the type of password to allow. You may need to all
ow 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 relevant box to enable anonymou
s viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
page.
Enable Basic Setup - Before using the AXIS M32 Series Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made,
most of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings use the Basic Setup in the menu. All
settings are also available from the standard setup links in the menu. Basic Setup is enabled by default but can be disabled
and removed from the menu.
IP Address Filter
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the network camera. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list are
allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.
The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addr
esses). The users
from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights. This is done from Setup >
System Options > Security > Users.
HTTPS
The network camera supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS.
A self-signed c
ertificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create
self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some
protection, true security is only implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.
A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificat
e Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button.
When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of
any certificate request currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the Properties... button. The
HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the camera. For more information, please
refer to the online help .
