Access Control for Panoramic Cameras
Arecont Vision cameras support dual-level password-protected access control. Camera authentication is
compatible with RFC-2068 HTTP 1.1 and is supported by all standard browsers and video surveillance
software.
There are two types of users with the following reserved names:
admin – has full access to all camera settings and the video.
viewer – has viewing access to all current camera settings and the video.
Setting and removing the passwords is the privilege of the admin user. The viewer user can only use a
password set by the admin and has no rights to modify their own password. Resetting to factory default will
erase all current passwords for both admin and viewer. A newly shipped camera will have no password
protection and will allow full anonymous access. Setting the viewer password without an admin password will
still allow full anonymous access to the camera’s live feed.
Access control setup consists of three steps:
1. Set an admin password, using http commands or using the camera’s web page.
2. Log-in using the admin password and set the viewer password.
