To prevent any unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 2460 supports multi-user
password protection, where access is restricted to defined users only, of which there can be
a maximum of 20. An Administrator has unrestricted access to the product's
administration tools and can determine the registration and rights for all other users.
The Users list displays all the users authorized to use the Network DVR.

Adding Users
The following fields must be completed for each new user
• User Name - must contain at least one, but not more than fourteen characters.
• Password - must contain at least four, but not more than fourteen characters.
• Confirm Password - repeat the above password here.
User Rights - Check the appropriate boxes to define the access rights and privileges for each
specified user; where the level of user access can be described as follows:
• Administrator - An Administrator has unrestricted access to the administration tools and
can consequently determine the registration of all other users.
• Operator - An Operator can adjust recorder and camera settings, as well as start, stop and
view recordings.
• View - Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user to see live images,
to see recordings and to start or stop a recording manually.
• Dial-In - Optionally allows the user to access the AXIS 2460 via a dial-in connection.
After making the settings for the new user, click the Add/Change button. This button only
updates the list locally. To save the settings, click the Save button.
• When accessing the AXIS 2460 and the administration tools for the first time, you will be assumed to
be the Administrator and will be logged in as such, with the user name root and the default pass-
word pass. The root password should be changed as soon as possible. When this has been done, the
product’s security features will be enabled, and access to the Administration tools will be restricted
to defined users only.
• Although changing the Administrator’s password restricts access to the Admin tools, by default, the
AXIS 2460 will still allow anonymous viewing access, which means that anybody on the network can
access the product’s images in a browser. To restrict open viewing access, simply register at least one
authorized
user. This stops the anonymous viewing service and only allows specified users to access
the images.
• All Axis products are shipped with the same password by default.
