Understanding the IP Camera User Interface
After you log in to the IP camera as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera” section on page 2-6, you
can access the IP camera windows and perform a variety of administrative and user procedures.
The links and activities that you can see and access in the IP camera windows depend on your IP camera
privilege level. Privilege levels are configured as described in the
“User Settings Window” section on
page 3-30 and include the following:
• Administrator—Can access all IP camera windows, features, and functions.
• Viewer—Can access the Camera Video/Control window with limited controls, and can access the
Refresh, Logout, About, and Help links from that window.
IP Camera Window Links
The IP Camera user interface includes links that you use to access various windows and perform other
activities.
Table 2-2 describes each link and lists the IP camera privilege level that you must have to
access the link.
