It is important to understand that there is no filtering done on the logins, which means that all SimView
content can be viewed by everyone with a valid SimView login.
Note! It is important to note that the SimView login names and PC user names are not the same; there is no
link between a SimView login name and a PC user. The user logged into the PC may use another SimView
login name that the user name used for logging into to the PC. There may be many more SimView login
names/users than PC login names on the SimView server. SimView users will often log in from a remote PC
to the SimView software.
Note! All SimView users can access all the recordings.
Note! Some regions have laws or regulations stating that rooms under video/audio surveillance must be
properly marked with a sign or similar. Please make sure you are complying with your local regulations.
Unauthorized access to SimView content 3.5
The SimView server software is, as mentioned in the Privacy section above, designed to prevent access to
the content if a user does not have a loginHowever it cannot be guaranteed that unauthorized access to
content is not possible. SimView Server should consequently never be exposed to the Internet without a
firewall.
Securing the PC with the proper Domain policies and restrictions is therefore needed and should be planned
with customer's IT administrator if the PC is to be connected to the local network.
Proper polices for exporting and securely storing files should therefore be implemented and carried out if
deemed necessary.
It is also possible to isolate the SimView server and connected peripherals such as cameras and Instructor
Application PCs on a separate network in order to minimize risks.
If your site wishes to restrict access to SimView Server and access to record simulations there are some key
points to adhere to:
 Never let the browser save the password when logging in to SimView as administrator.
 Don’t use the Remember me function.
These points may not be valid to your site if access to the SimView Server is physically limited.
Axis IP Cameras 3.6
The cameras supported by SimView can be accessed over the network and should be secured with
passwords to prevent unauthorized access to the live streaming video. Laerdal has no control over this
software and relies on the vendor and user to securely protect access.
File security and backup of data 3.7
The customer is responsible for file security and backup routines for all simulation session data. All use and
storage of simulation session data should be in accordance with local rules, regulations or laws, and is the
sole responsibility of the customer. See more on backup in sections 5.2.2 on page 13 and 7.3 on page 41.
