System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
first access. 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:
Users - the user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify event types and adjust certain other
settings. Operators have no access to the System Options.
An administrator has unrestricted access to all the setup tools and can determine the registration of
all other users.
User Settings - check the relevant checkboxes to enable:
• Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
page.
• Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the
number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save
on bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.)
IP Address Filtering
Enable IP Address Filtering- To allow or deny access to the AXIS 210/210A/211/211A
Network Camera check the box Enable IP address filtering. Once enabled, the IP addresses
in the list will be 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.
Referrals
To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the cameras into
external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or Host name
of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video stream. Several IP
addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons (;). This option is
only applicable to Motion JPEG video streams.
