System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
first access. New users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator
can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:
Users
- the
user list
displays the authorized users and access levels:
User Settings
- check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
•
Anonymous viewer login -
allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
•
Anonymous PTZ control login -
allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom con-
trollers on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
IP Address Filtering
Allowed IP Addresses
- The administrator can add up to 256 IP addresses to this list. If the
IP address filtering checkbox is checked, the Video Server will only allow access to
requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.
The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate
access rights (
User
,
Operator
or
Administrator
).
Referrals
- to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the
Video Server into external Web pages, check the
Referrals
box and enter the IP address or
Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream.
Multiple IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)
Notes:
•
If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View
page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.
•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP
address filtering must be enabled.
•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter-
ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP
addresses.
Viewer
Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page
Operator
An Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other
settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems Options configuration pages.

all other users.
