3.10 Security Properties
The Security properties page contains user/password information for
securing NetCam from unwanted visitors.
NetCam Users
NetCam has its own multi-user capable, password protected operating
system. By default, the live images can be viewed by anyone and only the
configuration pages are password protected. However, these options can
be changed.
admin - The admin user has configuration and viewing rights. It is
strongly recommended that you change the default password (initially
“admin”) to something else. This will prevent anonymous users
from logging into the camera and making changes. It is important to
choose your password carefully. Pick something that cannot be easily
guessed. The password can be a combination of alpha and numeric
characters, upper and lowercase (maximum 8 characters).
Tip: Use a password that cannot be easily guessed (maximum 8 characters).
viewer - The viewer user only has viewing rights (this user cannot
access the configuration menus). By default, the viewer user has no
password. This allows anyone to view the images on the camera
without being prompted for a password. If you want to block public
access to the live image, you will need to change the password for
the viewer user.
To modify the password of an existing user, click on the user name
and then type in a new password in the password field (retype it in the
verify password field). Then click the Add/Modify button.
