that you are who you claim to be):
Not all surveillance systems (see "Surveillance system differences"
on page 42) support the use of all three authentication methods.

Windows authentication (current user): you are
authenticated through your current Windows login, and you
do not have to specify any user name or password. This is
the default authentication method.

Windows authentication: you are authenticated through
your Windows login, but you need to enter your Windows
user name and password.

Basic authentication: you need to be setup in the
surveillance system with a user name and password.
User name
Only required if the authentication method Windows
authentication or Basic authentication is selected. If using
Windows authentication, type your Windows user name. If using
Basic authentication, type the user name supplied by your
surveillance system administrator. The user name is case-sensitive;
there is a difference between typing, for example, "amanda" and
"Amanda."
Password

authentication or Basic authentication is selected. If using
Windows authentication, type your Windows password. If using
