General password is active, no one can gain access to the camera for viewing images without
entering the appropriate username and password.
The default General username and password are:
username = login

When the General password is enabled, users must enter this password to see any of the camera’s
images.
Activate general password protection by selecting Enable from the General Password Protection
menu. To change the password, type a unique password into the Change General Password field.

settings can be adjusted. Users must enter this password to change any image settings for the
camera. This Management feature is always enabled.

5.2.3 Cookies
The 7100 Series camera uses cookies to secure the password-protected areas. Cookies are a
mechanism by which a web server can transfer and store information on a user’s computer. When
a user issues the proper passwords to a camera, an authentication cookie is placed on that user’s
computer. The server will then recognize that the user has authenticated and will allow them
privileged user status. Support for cookies is permanently enabled in Internet Explorer browsers.
For the cookie mechanism to work on Netscape browsers, the browser must be set to accept
cookies. Otherwise, users cannot log into any of the camera s password protected areas.
To enable cookies within Netscape browsers (assumes Netscape v4.7):
1. Select Edit from the Menu bar selections.
2. Choose Preferences from within the Edit options.
