Password Protecting the DV-IP
The DV-IP has password protection for Viewing Live & Recorded footage, Configuration, Telnet, and FTP.
This helps prevent unauthorised access to areas restricted by the administrator.
Default Passwords
The unit comes with several default passwords. For each, the user name is always dm
The passwords are as follows:
Configuration Pages = web
FTP = ftp
Telnet = telnet
Serial = serial
As every DV-IP has these passwords by default, you are advised to change them to something more
personal.
Configuring Password Protection on the DV-IP
Passwords are held in 2 files on the DV-IP – the
USERS.ini
and
WEBUSER.ini
file. These can be found in
the
/ETC
directory on the unit. These files can be accessed via ftp, edited, then uploaded onto the unit.
Before you make changes to either password file, it is recommended you make a copy of the default file,
in case you wish to restore it later.
USERS.ini
The
USERS.ini
file holds the usernames and passwords for ftp, telnet and serial access. These can be
seen below. To alter the user names and passwords, change the relevant text in the file, then upload the
changed file to the unit.
e.g. Original Settings for FTP are dm=ftp (dm = user name, ftp = password), shown as below:
[FTP]
dm = ftp
To change the password, edit the file in text editor and change dm = ftp to:
user = password
So the new user name is user and the new password is password
Save the file and upload it to the unit, reset the unit and the changes will become active.
