Caution The Node and Mixed settings are advanced controls. Consult your network administrator to obtain the
required information.
Step 1 Place your mouse pointer over the Users tab.
Step 2 Select General Settings from the drop-down menu.
Step 3 Select an access level from the Public User Access Level drop-down menu.
• Disabled—The public user has no permissions and cannot access the live view page without a
password. The Login screen will appear when the camera's IP address is typed in the address bar of
a Web browser.
• Viewers—The permissions for this user are view video and API access. Viewers is the default
setting.
• Operators—The permissions for this user are view video, PTZ functions, and API access.
Step 4 Select a user and group management mode by clicking one of the following options:
• Standalone—The camera manages its users and groups locally. Any changes to users and groups
affect only the camera that you are accessing. Standalone is the default setting.
• Node—The camera uses a centralized server to manage users and groups. In this mode, the users
and groups page is disabled and all management is done on the central server. Any changes to users
and groups affect all cameras connected to the central server.
When you click the Node option, a Server box appears. Click in the Server box, and then type the
name of the central server to manage users and groups.
• Mixed—The camera verifies user names and passwords against a central server but manages the
group settings locally. This is useful if you want to use a departmental or corporate server for user
names and passwords. In this mode, the settings on the users page are limited, and any changes to
user names and passwords are done on the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
While changes to user names and passwords affect all cameras connected to the LDAP server, group
permissions must be managed from each camera individually.
