User Accounts
This section describes how to set the ID and password of the Administrator and regular camera users.
Administrator
The administrator has full control over all camera settings.
Admin ID
Type an Admin ID (default = "admin") between 4 and 10 characters.
Old password
Type an Old password (default = "admin") between 4 and 10 characters.
New password
Type in a new password between 4 and 10 characters.
Confirm
To confirm the password, type the new password in this field once again.
Click the "Save".
The administrator user is the only user who has access to the camera administration menu.
If you lose the password of the administrator account, a hardware reset will be necessary to re-
gain control. This involves either taking the camera apart to get access to the reset switch, or
accessing the camera via the serial cable and HyperTerminal. In either case, the camera most
likely must be removed from its outdoor location, a potentially very costly operation. Therefore,
we highly recommend keeping the password in a safe location
