Note : Keep the admin password in a safe place. If you should forget it, contact
technical support.
You can control who can connect to a camera by the user IP and physical (MAC)
addresses entered for a user. Setting up a user with a MAC address from the
user’s computer prohibits access to the camera from other computers. All users
can connect to a camera when IP and MAC addresses are set to zero.
The user access rights must be set up for each camera individually.
