User Management
Initial setup
Out of the box, the unit is freely accessible - that is, when you connect to the web server you are
not prompted to log on. To prevent unauthorised access, we recommend that you implement
user authentication. This is done by creating user accounts and activating user login. The
number of user accounts you can create is virtually unlimited.
Roles
The unit supports three account types with associated access levels.
Account
Page access
Permissions
Viewer
Live Stream
View live video, PTZ control (if enabled)
Operator
All pages except User
Management
Configure, manage and operate the unit.
Admin

Full control
Use strong passwords
CAUTION
: MAKE SURE YOU CREATE AN ADMIN ACCOUNT WHEN YOU OPEN THE WEB
INTERFACE FOR THE FIRST TIME. TO KEEP THE ACCOUNT SAFE, SET A STRONG, COMPLEX
PASSWORD. THIS HELPS TO PREVENT UNAUTHORISED ACCESS.
Create a strong password
Use at least eight characters
Do not include your real name, user name, company name, or other personal information
Do not use complete words that can be found in a dictionary
Use a random combination of at least two of the following categories: upper case letters,
lower case letters, numbers and special characters
Note:
For better protection, especially in high-security systems, we advise you to change the
password at regular intervals.
