4. Direct public access to image via HTTP
Controls access to the live image via http command http://camera_address/jpg/image.jpg
. This
feature can be important when using the Video Server in 3
rd
party video surveillance systems.
With Direct Public Access disabled a username and password must be provided in order to view
the image. With Direct Public Access enabled no username and password is required in order to
view the image.
5. Image file name (max 10 characters)
To increase security of this feature you can also control Image File Name.
Using a secure name such as ‘sr55_ogu42’ (example) provides security even if the Direct Public
Access is enabled as it is difficult to guess the right address.
http://camera_address/jpg/image.jpg
is easy to find out, but
http://camera_address/jpg/sr55_ogu42.jpg
is more difficult.
