Access to the Live View page and to all settings except System Options
Administrator -
Unrestricted access to all settings; can add, modify and remove other users.
Under

are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if you upgraded the firmware and existing clients support encryption but need
to log in again and be configured to use this functionality.

Enable anonymous viewer login
option to allow anonymous users access to the Live View page.

ONVIF (Open Network Video Interface Forum) is a global interface standard that makes it easier for end users, integrators, consultants,
and manufacturers to take advantage of the possibilities offered by network video technology. ONVIF enables interoperablity between
different vendor products, increased flexibility, reduced cost and future-proof systems.
By creating a user you automatically enable ONVIF communication. Use the user name and password with all ONVIF communication

to install and manage
certificates. See
