[Administrator]

This user is given all authorities. The user name is fixed

to “root”.

The Administrator can launch the Admin Viewer from

the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page.

[Authorized User]

Authorized users can launch the Admin Viewer from

the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page if they have

privileged camera control. Authorized users can no

longer launch the Admin Viewer upon losing privileged

camera control. However, they can still launch the VB

Viewer. Launching the VB Viewer can be prohibited by

disabling all authorities of a given authorized user

(p. 60).

[Guest User]

This user can only use the following functions:

Backlight compensation, snapshots, video display,

audio distribution

Pan/tilt/zoom camera control

Digital PTZ

Guest users can launch the VB Viewer from the [VB

Viewer] link on the top page. The Administrator can

completely prohibit all camera access from guest users

by disabling all their authorities.

Note

• The factory default setting gives privileged camera control to

[Authorized User] as well.

• If all guest user authorities are disabled, the user

authentication dialog box will appear when the VB Viewer is

launched. When an authorized user or administrator name and
password are entered, the VB Viewer can be used with

authorized user or administrator authorities, respectively.

• The authorities of authorized users are assigned as follows.

List of Authorized User Authorities

Important

• At any time, the [Administrator] can launch the Admin Viewer to

override the camera control privileges of another instance of
the Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User]. The

Administrator can retain the camera control privileges, but

doing so prevents authorized users from obtaining camera
control privileges. After viewing the necessary information, the

Administrator should always close the viewer or click [Obtain/

Release Camera Control] to release the control privileges.

• The Admin Viewer launched by the [Administrator] can access

only one camera at a time. While administrator authorities are
used to access the camera from a given computer, access

with administrator authorities from other computers will be not

be granted. In contrast, the camera can be accessed
simultaneously by multiple instances of the Admin Viewer

launched by [Authorized Users] from different computers.

Take note, however, that when controlling the camera, the
control privileges are given to the user who accessed the

camera most recently.
