When the Internet Camera is used for the first time, it is highly

recommended that the Administrator set the

Administrator Password

to constrain user access to the Internet Camera since the Default

settings are Null String (no password). Once the Password is defined,

only the Administrator has access to the management of the

Internet

Camera. This procedure should be done as soon as possible since the

security features of the Internet Camera will not be enabled until the

Administrator Password

is defined.

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized use of the Internet

Camera, the

Administrator

has the exclusive privilege to access the

System

Administration

settings to allow users entry and authorize privileges for all

users. The Internet Camera supports multi-level password protection/access

to the Internet Camera that can be restricted to defined users who have a

User

Name

and

User Password,

which is assigned by the Administrator.

The Administrator can release a public user name and password so that when

remote users access the Internet Camera they will have the right to view the

image transmitted by the Internet Camera.

At this point it is highly recommended that you click on the

Configuration

button

on the Home screen, and then the

Tools

tab to bring you to the

Admin

screen.

Enter a

password

for security purposes.
