Administration and Password Setting
Administration
is the place to set a password. Arecont Vision cameras support two levels of password-
protected access control. Camera authentication is compatible with RFC-2068 HTTP 1.1 and is supported by
all standard browsers and video surveillance software.
A. There are two types of users with the following reserved names:
admin
–
full access to all camera settings and live video.
viewer
–viewing access only to live video.
Setting and removing the passwords is the privilege of the
admin
user, while the
viewer
can only use the
existing password, but not change it. Factory defaults erase all current passwords for both the
admin
and the
viewer.
A newly shipped camera has no password protection and allows full anonymous access from the
network. In case the
admin
password has not been set, the camera has full anonymous access from the
network, even if the
viewer
password has been set.
B. Access control setup consists of three steps:
1. Set
admin
password (using http commands or using the camera’s web page, see below).
2. Log-in using the
admin
password and set the
viewer
password.
3. Communicate the
viewer
password to the users.
NOTE:
The Password accepts a 16 character ASCII but cannot contain white space or following illegal
symbols: # % & ` “ ‘ < >.
In order to delete
viewer
password, log-in as
admin
and
change the viewer password to a reserved password
empty
–
this would restore the full anonymous access to the camera. The
admin
user can change the
viewer
password at any time, even without knowing the current
viewer
password.
NOTE:
If the admin password has been set and forgotten, it can only be erased by AV IP Utility using key file.
Please contact Arecont Vision technical support to obtain the key file required to perform this function.
