System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default, when the administrator sets the root password on
first access. New users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator
can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:
Users
User list displays the authorized users and access levels:
To prevent unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 241QA/AXIS 241SA network camera
supports multi-user password protection, where
access can be restricted to a defined
number of users only (maximum of 20).
The AXIS 282/AXIS 282A supports several methods
of user authentication. These are:
• HTTP Basic Authentication - This authen
ticates 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 password,
but the exchange of credentials is encrypted, which better secures it against eavesdrop-
ping.
User Settings - ch
eck the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
• Anony
mous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
• Anonymous
PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom con-
trollers on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
IP Address Filter
Checking the Enable IP address filtering box enables the IP address filtering function. Up
to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP
addresses). Click the Add button to add new filtered addresses.
When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses
added to the list are set as allowed or
denied addresses. All other IP addresses not in this list will then be allowed or denied
access accordingly, i.e. if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied
access, and vice versa. See also the online help for more information.
Viewer Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page

dify event types and adjust certain other
