Language support and XML encoding
You can select the language/character set that should be used by your system's server and clients.
Component Requirement
Character encoding/Language
Select required language/character set.
Example: If the surveillance server runs a Japanese version of
Windows, select Japanese. Provided access clients also use a
Japanese version of Windows, this will ensure that the correct
language and character encoding is used in clients' communication
with the server.
Users
About users
The term users primarily refers to users who connect to the surveillance system through their clients.
You can configure such users in two ways:

As basic users, authenticated by a user name/password combination.

As Windows users, authenticated based on their Windows login
You can add both types of users through the Configure User Access wizard or individually (see Add
basic users (on page 149) and Add Windows users (on page 150)).
By grouping users, you can specify rights for all users within a group in one go. If you have many
users performing similar tasks, this can save you significant amounts of work. User groups are logical
groups created and used for practical purposes in the Management Application only. They are not in
any way connected with user groups from central directory services. If you want to use groups, make
sure you add groups before you add users: you cannot add existing users to groups.
Finally, the Administrators group is also listed under Users. This is a default Windows user group for
administration purpose which automatically has access to the Management Application.
Add basic users
When you add a basic user, you create a dedicated surveillance system user account with basic user
name and password authentication for the individual user. Note that creating Windows users provides
better security. If you want to include users in groups, make sure you add required groups before you
add users. You cannot add existing users to groups.
You can add basic users in two ways: One is through the Configure User Access wizard.
Alternatively, add basic users this way:
1. Expand Advanced Configuration, right-click Users, and select Add New Basic User.
2. Specify a user name. Specify a password, and repeat it to be sure you have specified it
correctly. Click OK.
