Pearl-2 User Guide Restrict viewers by IP address
The following table describes what happens when an IP address is added to the allowed and denied IP address
lists.
Item Description
Allow IP's
Users connecting from addresses in this list are permitted to view broadcasts from the
system, provided their IP address is not in the Deny IP’s list.
To allow all except IP addresses in the deny list, if any, leave the field blank.
You can use the Allow list by itself, or in conjunction with the Deny IP’s list as an exception
to a rule in the allow list.
Deny IP's
Users connecting from addresses in this list are not allowed to view broadcasts from the
system, unless their IP address is in the Allow IP’s list. If a specific IP address is in both lists,
access to the stream is denied.
You can use the Deny list by itself, or in conjunction with the Allow IP’s list as an exception
to a rule in the allow list.
If your viewer account has a password, your viewers must connect to the system from a computer (or
gateway) with a permitted IP address and must also supply the user name (viewer) and password before they
can view the broadcast.
To restrict access by IP address, you need to know the IP addresses or range of addresses for your viewers. By
default, all IP addresses are allowed to connect to the broadcast.
If a user attempts to connect to the stream from a disallowed IP address, access is denied. If there's an
attempt to connect using a web browser, the message "IP address rejected" is displayed.
Table 31 IP Based Restriction Options
If you’re not familiar with creating allow/deny lists, see IP restriction examples .
IP address restriction is valid for the viewer only and does not affect the Admin panel or the
mobile configuration interface.
To restrict viewer access to watch streams for all channels by their IP address:
1. Login to the Admin panel as admin , see Connect to the Admin panel .
2. From the Configuration menu, select Security . The Security configuration page opens.
3. Enter the allowed IP addresses or address ranges in the Allow IP’s field and enter denied IP addresses
or address ranges in the Deny IP's field. Separate addresses with a comma. To specify a range, use a
hyphen (-). Optional spaces improve readability.
4. Click Apply .
