To prevent unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 231D+/232D+network camera
supports multi-user password protection,
where access can be restricted to a defined
number of users only (maximum of 20).
The AXIS 231D+/232D+ supports several methods
of user authentication. These are:
• HTTP Basic Authentication - This authentica
tes the user by requesting a user
name and a password. The exchange of network credentials is in simple base64
coding and is not encrypted.
• HTTP Digest Authentication - This method also requests
a user name and pass-
word, but the exchange of credentials is encrypted, which better secures it against
eavesdropping.

• Anony
mous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
