Pearl Mini User Guide Restrict viewers by IP address
Users are required to authenticate once to the system and one time per channel they view.
Therefore users see a prompt to log in to the system (the system name is shown) and a second time
to log in to the channel (the channel name is shown).
Restrict viewers by IP address
Pearl devices permit you to restrict which computers can access broadcasts by building a list of allowed and
denied IP addresses. You can do this at a global level for the system and can also override these settings on a
per-channel basis. Both global and per-channel configuration procedures are described.
The following table describes what happens when an IP address is added to the allowed and denied IP address
lists.
Table 31 IP Based Restriction Options
Item Description
Allow IP's
Users connecting from addresses in this list are permitted to view broadcasts from the
device, provided their IP address is not in the Deny IP’s list.
To allow all except IP addresses in the deny list, if any, leave the field blank.
You can use the Allow list by itself, or in conjunction with the Deny IP’s list as an exception to
a rule in the allow list.
Deny IP's
Users connecting from addresses in this list are not allowed to view broadcasts from the
device, unless their IP address is in the Allow IP’s list. If a specific IP address is in both lists,
access to the stream is denied.
You can use the Deny list by itself, or in conjunction with the Allow IP’s list as an exception to
a rule in the allow list.
If your viewer account has a password, your viewers must connect to the device from a computer (or gateway)
with a permitted IP address and must also supply the user name (viewer) and password before they can view the
broadcast.
To restrict access by IP address, you need to know the IP addresses or range of addresses for your viewers. By
default, all IP addresses are allowed to connect to the broadcast.
If a user attempts to connect to the stream from a disallowed IP address, access is denied. If there's an attempt
to connect using a web browser, the message "IP address rejected" is displayed.
If you’re not familiar with creating allow/deny lists, see IP restriction examples .
IP address restriction is valid for the viewer only and does not affect the Admin panel or the mobile
configuration interface.
