3.3 Logging In
The authentication mechanism is implemented in Launcher. If user has already
passed the authentication in Launcher, Monitor can be invoked without further
authentication. If not, the Authentication of Launcher will be popped up and user
must pass it to get Monitor shows up. There are two privileges in the user-protection
system: the root (administrator) and the general user.
3.3.1 The Root Privilege
In the Monitor tool system, root privilege includes the right to access Video Server /
Network Camera series products as well as changing local settings. However, this
root privilege is not the same as that of the root privilege of the Video Server /
Network Camera series product. You can change the settings of each selected Video
Server / Network Camera in the remote site only if you have the root privilege of the
remote Video Server / Network Camera series product.
If you have the root privilege, you can do the following:
9
Running the configuration tool
9
Changing the recording schedule
9
Change the local settings
Again, if you need to change the settings of remote Video Server / Network Camera
series products, you must have the root user password for each of the products.
3.3.2 The General User Privilege
This is not implemented in the current version. Only the root user can log in to this
application software.
