Log Windows
Password Complexity Window
IP camera administrator and user passwords must always meet the requirements that are described in the
“User Settings Window” section on page 3-30. The Password Complexity window provides options for
configuring additional requirements for the IP camera passwords.
To display the Password Complexity window, access the configuration windows as described in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-5, click Administration, then click
Password Complexity.
Table 3-22 describes the options in the Password Complexity window.
Log Windows
The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the
IP camera and its activities.
The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera
begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP
camera to send log information to a Syslog server.
Caution Because the logs are stored in the internal camera SDRAM, all existing logs in the camera will be lost
after a camera reboot, power-up, or power-down.
The following sections describe the Log windows in detail:
• Log Setup Settings Window, page 3-36
• Local Log Window, page 3-38
