Security > User Management
What this tab is for
The User Management tab is the place where the admin user adds, modifies and deletes user
accounts.
Admin account
Out of the box, users do not need to log on to the web interface. RTSP Authentication and
Illegal Login Lock are disabled. There is a built-in "Admin" user account with password "1234"
which is intended for API calls only. Before "Operator" and "User" accounts can be added, a
new account with Administrator level must be created. The initial account is then no longer
available.
CAUTION: MAKE SURE YOU CREATE A NEW ADMIN ACCOUNT WHEN YOU OPEN THE WEB
INTERFACE FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO KEEP THE ACCOUNT SAFE, SET A STRONG, COMPLEX
PASSWORD. THIS HELPS TO PREVENT UNAUTHORISED ACCESS FROM PEOPLE WHO TRY TO
USE THE DEFAULT ACCOUNT.
For your privacy and to better protect your system against security risks, we strongly advise
the use of strong passwords for all functions and network devices. Proper configuration of all
passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user of
the camera.
To create a strong password
● Use at least eight characters
● Do not include your real name, user name, company name, or other personal information
