Initial 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 the gateway and the
DNS Servers. Ask your network administrator or Internet service provider for the details. If any
setting is entered incorrectly and you cannot proceed with setting up the Network Camera,
restore the factory settings following the steps in the “Troubleshooting” chapter in the
Appendix.
Add Password to Prevent Unauthorized Access
The default
Administrator’s
password is blank and
the Network Camera
initially will not ask for
any password. The
Administrator should
immediately assign a
new password as a
matter of prudent
security practice.
Once the
Administrator’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 twenty (20) user accounts. Each user can access the
Network Camera except to perform system configuration. Some critical functions such as
system configuration, user administration, and software upgrades are accessible only by the
Administrator. The user name for the Administrator is permanently assigned as “root”. 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.
