RTSP Authentication
From a security perspective, it may be undesirable that users can freely connect to the
camera over RTSP to view a video stream. With RTSP Authentication, it is possible to restrict
access to users with a valid account. On attempting to start an RTSP stream, users are
prompted to provide a user name and password.
To configure RTSP Authentication
1
In the RTSP Authentication list, select basic or disable as required.
2
Click Save.
Important: If you disable RTSP Authentication, anyone can use a connection over RTSP to
start a video stream via the IP address of the camera.
Security service
With SSH enabled, the data communication is encrypted and compressed to improve security

Illegal login prevention
It is possible to have the camera locked if an operator/user user enters an incorrect user
name or password for five consecutive times. The admin is locked out after seven failed logon
attempts. If the camera is locked, you can try to log on again after 30 minutes.
To turn on the illegal login lock
1
