Server Settings
Click the
Video Server
icon within the graphic user interface to display and/or edit the following
settings:
Date and Time
You click the
Date and Time
icon and set the current date and time either
Automatically,
or
Manually
. Setting the date and time
Automatically
requires you to provide the Internet Address of a
local NTP server and select your local time zone from the available drop-down dialog.
Click Save to register the settings with the Video Server.
Security
To prevent any unauthorized use of the Video Server, access is strictly password protected and
restricted to defined
Users
and the
Administrator(s)
only
.
Administrator(s)
have exclusive access to
the product Administration Tools
and determine the registration of all ordinary
users.
Notes:
Although, the Administrator’s default username and password (set to
root
and
pass
respectively)
can be used for logging in to the unit for the first time, it is strongly recommended that you
change the Administrator (root) password of your AXIS 2400/2401 as soon as possible - since all
Axis products are shipped with the same password as default.
As an
Administrato
r, you click the
Security
button to either:
• define or edit the
Administrator
password (the Administrator username is permanently set to
root, with password default to
pass
),
or
• define, add and delete
user
names and passwords
Important!
By default, the AXIS 2400/2401 supports anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the
Internet/intranet has access to the video images from a Web browser.
Should you wish to restrict access, simply enter the usernames and passwords of authorized users in the
General Settings - Security page. If the anonymous user service is satisfactory for your application, simply
do not add any users.
Note: Only characters a - z, A - Z and 0 - 9 are valid when entering usernames and passwords.
