, select the type of password to allow. You may need to allow unencrypted passwords if there

are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if you upgraded the firmware and existing clients support encryption but need
to log in again and be configured to use this functionality.

Under

User Settings

, select the

Enable anonymous viewer login

option to allow anonymous users access to the Live View page.

ONVIF

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology. ONVIF enables interoperablity between
different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced cost and future-proof systems.

By creating a user you automatically enable ONVIF communication. Use the user name and password with all ONVIF communication
with the product. For more information see

www.onvif.org

IP Address Filter

IP address filtering is enabled on the

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses).

HTTPS

HTTPS (HyperText Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a web protocol providing encrypted browsing.
HTTPS can also be used by users and clients to verify that the correct device is being accessed. The security level provided by
HTTPS is considered adequate for most commercial exchanges.

The Axis product can be configured to require HTTPS when users from different user groups (administrator, operator, viewer) connect.

To use HTTPS, an HTTPS certificate must first be installed. Go to

System Options > Security > Certificates

to install and manage

certificates. See

Certificates, on page 39

.

To enable HTTPS on the Axis product:
