MxEasy User Manual: System Configuration
4.1.2 Setting The Access Mode For MxEasy
To protect a camera from unwanted configuration changes, select a Control Mode. If, for
example, you want to prevent accidental changes in the recording mode of a camera con-
nected via the Internet, set the Control Mode to Image Mode. This limits configuration changes
to image settings and PTZ. The Control Mode can be set dierently for any environment:
1. Open the “Properties“ window via the Cameras| Edit Cameras menu.
Or: Open the Camera List via the Cameras| Show Cameras menu. Select the desired
camera and open the shortcut menu. Click on Edit. The “Properties“ window opens.
2. Click on the “Access Mode“ tab.
3. Choose the desired Control Mode:
Full Control: All configuration changes are allowed.
Image Mode: Configuration changes are restricted to image settings and PTZ.
Display Mode: Configuration is not allowed.
4. Click on OK to confirm.
4.1.3 Protecting Access To Cameras
Access levels can be used to restrict how individual users work with MxEasy. In addition, public
access to cameras can be protected with user names and passwords. Setting passwords
not only provides protection against unauthorized access, it also blocks browser access to
the Guest screen (Public Access; for more information, see Section
“Users, User Groups,
Passwords, Supervisor Mode“
in the Software Manual) .
1. Open the authentication window via the File | Authenticate menu.
2. Click on the Camera Access button. The window for entering access data opens.
3. Enter a user name and a password.
4. Verify the password.
5. Click on OK to confirm. The access data for all cameras in the current environment
is changed.
Note
If no user name and password have been entered, MxEasy uses the factory defaults
(user admin, password meinsm). This also automatically enables public access to
the Guest screen via a browser window.
