MAINTENANCE > Device Management

To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of your IP camera, the Administrator has the exclusive privilege to authorize all users. The DCS-900

supports multi-level password protection/access that can be restricted by the Administrator for defined users who have a User Name and User Password.

The Administrator can release a public User Name and Password so that when remote users access the DCS-900 they will be allowed to view the images transmitted

by the DCS-900.
