Access to the Network Camera
Check Network Settings
The Network Camera can be connected either before or immediately after software
installation onto the Local Area Network. The Administrator should complete the network
settings on the configuration page, including the correct subnet mask and IP address of
gateway and DNS. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the detail
information.
Add Password to prevent Unauthorized Access
The Administrator should immediately implement a new password as a matter of
prudent security practice. The user name and password for the Administrator are assigned
as “admin/admin”. Once theAdministrator’s password is saved, the Network Camera will ask
for the user’s name and password before each access. The Administrator can set up a
maximum of ten (10) user accounts. Each user can access the Network Camera except to
perform system configuration. Once the password is changed, the browser will display an
authentication window to ask for the new password. Once the password is set, there is no
provision to recover the Administrator’s password. The only option is to restore to
the original factory default settings.
