User
Select the user access level you want to connect to the FSM‐IP server. FSM‐IP has two security
profiles: guard and admin. The guard profile is not allowed to edit channel or server properties.
Password
If security is enabled you must enter the correct password for the profile you want to use. If security
is not enabled you can connect as either profile without the password being required.
Confirm Password
Confirm the password; if no password is required this field can be left blank.
9.1 Server Properties
The Server Properties Editor is used to edit different aspects of an FSM‐IP server. It is important to
understand that all the server properties are stored on the server and not in the video management
software configuration.
Any changes to server properties will be immediately saved on the server; however enabling security will
not force existing clients to authenticate. You will need to restart the server or force all clients to reconnect
because changing server security is not retroactive.
9.1.1 Security
The FSM‐IP server supports a basic form of security similar to the Fike Video Analytics IP cameras. There are
two built‐in accounts each with their own password that provide access to the server with different
privileges.
9.1.2 Operator (Guard) Account
The operator account grants read‐only access to the server. In this mode an operator can view cameras,
alarms and videos but can't change server or channel properties.
9.1.3 Admin Account
The admin account grants full access to the server. In this mode an admin can access all the features of the
server.
9.1.4 Server Security
By default security is not enabled and no account selection or password is required to access the server.
Security can be enabled through the video management software and once enabled you will be required to
select a user account type and enter the correct password. See Video Management Software Operations
Manual for details. To edit a server’s properties select the “Servers” tab and then click the “Properties”
toolbar button. The following dialog box will be displayed, Figure 12:
