SECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the camera, the administrator has the exclusive privilege to access
the System Administration for settings and control requirements
to allow users the level of entry and authorize the privileges for
all users. The camera supports multi-level password protection.
Accessing to the camera is strictly restricted to defined users with
a "User Name" and "User Password", which are assigned by the
administrator.
The administrator can release a public user name and password.
Therefore, when remote users access the camera, they will have
the right to view the image transmitted by the camera.
NOTE: Since the default settings are Null String, it is highly recommended to
set the "Admin Password" when you are the first time to use the camera.
Once the password is defined, only the administrator is permitted to manage
the camera. The security feature of the camera will not be enabled until the
"Admin Password" is defined; therefore, you have to complete this procedure
as soon as possible.
