Initial Access to the Network Camera
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 Configuration 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 set, there is no provision to recover the Administrator’s
password. The only option is to restore to the original factory default
settings.
