Caution
Strong Password Recommended–We highly recommend you create a strong password of your
own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three of the following
categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to
increase the security of your product. We also recommend that you reset your password
regularly. Especially in the high security systems, resetting the password monthly or weekly can
better protect your product.
User Level
Set the user level to Operator or Guest. Different user levels have different operating
permission.
● Operator: An Operator user level has Two-way Audio permission in Remote Configuration
and all operating permissions in Camera Configuration by default.
● Guest: The Guest user has no permission of Two-way Audio in Remote Configuration and
only has the local/remote playback in the Camera Configuration by default.
User’s MAC Address
The MAC address of the remote PC that logs onto the device. If it is configured and enabled, it
allows only the remote user with this MAC address to access the device.
