System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other new users, by giving them 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):
User Settings - check the relevant checkboxes to enable:
• Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
• Maximu
m number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the number of Motion
JPEG and MPEG-4 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth.
Note that within the limit of 20 users, all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.
IP Address Filtering
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12. 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.
Notes: •If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's own
IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.
•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP address filtering
must be enabled.
•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filtering is used, then the
allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.
HTTPS
The AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12 supports 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 will only be 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. For more information, please refer to the online help.

Operator An Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events and adjust certain other
settings. Operators have no access to the System Options.
