Introduction
How to Use
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software
installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the
network settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask
and IP address of gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet
service provider for the detail information. By default the Network Camera requires
the Administrator to run installation every time it reboots. If the network settings
are to remain unchanged, disable the Install option. Refer to Network settings on
the System Confi guration page for details. If any setting is entered incorrectly and
cannot proceed to setting up the Network Camera, restore the factory settings
following the steps in the Troubleshooting chapter of the Appendix.
Add Password to prevent Unauthorized Access
The default Administrator's password is blank and the Network Camera initially will
not ask for any 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.
