• Your system Administrator has installed the AXIS 2400/2401 on your computer network, connected
one or more surveillance video cameras to the unit, and tailored the user functions and general look
and feel of the system to meet your specific surveillance needs. Consequently, many of the functions
and examples provided within the section may differ from those displayed in your system.

who has high-level privileges that are normally denied to ordinary users.
