First access to Network Camera
Change initial password of administrator
Starting the Web browser to connect to the assigned IP address of Network Camera,
users will be asked for user name and password by an authentication message window.
A root password, identical to the Network Camera's serial number, is needed for the
initial access to a newly installed Network Camera. The administrator must change the
root password immediately after the initial installation to ensure security. The new root
password should be well memorized since there is no way to retrieve or recover it. After
changing the password, the browser will display an authentication window again to ask
for the new password. If the root password is deleted as blank, the authentication
mechanism will be disabled.
Manage user privilege
For complete protection from illegal usage, Network Camera provides three privileges
and always needs user name and password before access. The lowest level is DEMO
mode whose services are subject to administrator's permission. The standard level is the
USER mode that consists of twenty user profiles. Each user is able to access Network
Camera under the given privilege, except for system configuration. The twenty user
profiles are also maintained by the administrator. The highest level is ROOT mode that
only opens to administrators for initial setup, system configuration, user administration
and software upgrade. The user name of the administrator is internally assigned to
“root”.
Complete the network settings
Although Network Camera already can be accessed after software installation in local
area network, administrators should complete the network settings in the configuration
page. The complete network configurations including subnet mask as well as the IP
address of default gateway and DNS are provided by your network administrator or
Internet service provider. Once the wrong network settings make Network Camera fail to
work, refer to Appendix A to restore factory default settings.
By default Network Camera will need administrator's installation every time it reboots. If
the network settings are sure to work all the time, disable the install option in network
configuration Web page or Installer program.
Details about configurations are described in the relative category of the Chapter
Definitions of Configuration
