password.
The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of
prudent security practice.
Once the Administrator’s password is saved, the Network Camera will
ask for the user’s name and password before each access. The Administrator can set up a
maximum of twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the Network Camera except to
perform system configuration. Some critical functions are exclusive for the Administrator, such as
system configuration, user administration, and software upgrades. The user name for the
Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. Once the password is changed, the browser will
display an authentication window to ask for the new password.
Once the password is set, there
is no provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only option is to restore to
the original factory default settings.
How to Use
A PC with Windows operating system can use the Internet Explorer to connect to the Network
Camera. A plug-in will be installed into the IE when it is connected for the first time. A PC with
Linux operating system can connect to the camera using a browser like Firefox. It needs to install
QuickTime first to view streaming.
Authentication
After opening the Web browser and typing in the URL of the Network Camera, a dialogue window
pops up to request a username and password. Upon successful authentication, the following
figure is displayed.
The foreground is the login window and the background shows the message if authentication fails.
The user may check the option box to save the password for future convenience. This option is
not available to the Administrator for obvious reason.
