Users

User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these user names and passwords.
It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page, as described
below:

The

user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):

HTTP/RTSP Password Settings -

Select the type of password to allow. You may need to allow unencrypted passwords if

there are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients do
support encryption, but need to log in again, and be configured to use this functionality.

User Settings -

Check the relevant box to enable

anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live

View page.

Enable Basic Setup -

Before using the AXIS P3301 Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made, most

of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings use the Basic Setup in the menu. All settings
are also available from the standard setup links in the menu. Basic Setup is enabled by default but can be disabled and
removed from the menu.

IP Address Filter

Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the network cameras

. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list are

allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the drop-down list

Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses). The users
from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access rights. This is done from

Setup >

System Options > Security > Users.

HTTPS

The network cameras support encrypted browsing using HTTPS.

A

self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create

self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some
protection, true security is only implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.

A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the

Create Certificate Request button.

When the signed certificate is returned, click the

Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of

any certificate request currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the

Properties... button. The

HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the camera.
