Disabling authentication check at login
You may set [ANONYMOUS USER LOG IN] to “ON” on the USER REGISTRATION screen to allow anyone to
access the camera without any authentication check at login.
In this case, all login users are regarded as guest users.
This means that users will be presented with an authentication check dialog box if they attempt to
perform any operation beyond the guest user privilege and must enter an adequate user name and
password to proceed.
The camera provides one factory-set default user per operation privilege. Besides these users, you can register up
to 20 custom users as client users.
Default users (5 users)
When you access the camera for the first time, login as an admin user and perform the necessary configurations.
