General Settings
Maximum number of concurrent streaming connection(s) limited to
: Simultaneous live viewing for 1~10
clients (including all streams). The default value is 10. If you modify the value and click
Save
, all current
connections will be disconnected and automatically attempt to re-link (IE Explorer or Quick Time Player).
Connection management
: Click this button to display the connection status window showing a list of the
current connections. For example:
■ IP address: Current connections to the Network Camera.
■ Elapsed time: How long the client has been at the live view webpage (note that only clients currently at
the live view window will be listed here).
■ User ID: If the administrator has set a password for the webpage, the clients have to enter a user name
and password to access the live video. The user name will be displayed in the User ID column. If the
administrator allows clients to make a connection without a user name and password, the User ID
column will be empty.
There are some situations which allow clients access to the live video without a user name and
password:
1. The administrator does not set up a root password. For more information about how to set up a root
password and manage user accounts, please refer to Security > User account on page 88.
2. The administrator has set up a root password, but set
RTSP Authentication
to “disable“. For more
please refer to RTSP Streaming on page 79.
3. The administrator has set up a root password, but allows anonymous viewing. For more information
about
Allow Anonymous Viewing,

the denied list, please check

Save
in the first column.
