Viewer
The viewer account is for all users who are permitted to view the streamed channels. The default user name 
used to log in to Pearl-2 is viewer. If no password is assigned, then viewers are not prompted for a user name 
and password to view a channel. The viewer user name and password prompt appears only if a viewer 
password is set.
In addition to the global viewer account, each channel can set a viewer password that overrides the global 
value, see Restrict viewer access to channel streams.
