Checking Camera Video - Canon VB-S30D Operating Manual

The factory default user name and password are:
User Name: root
Password: camera
The user name "root" is the administrator account for the
camera.
Important
• To ensure system security, be sure to change the
administrator password. Do not forget the new password.
• Restore factory default settings if you have forgotten the
administrator password (p. 167). Note that this will reset all
camera settings to factory default settings except for date
and time.
• If you connect to the camera using the administrator account,
it will not be possible to connect with administrator privileges
from a different computer.
• If the administrator and an authorized user share the VB
Viewer on the same computer, it is strongly recommended
that the [Remember my credentials] check box be cleared.
• The Admin Tools and the Admin Viewer cannot be used if an
IPv6 address is specified. Only host names are supported for
IPv6 connections.
Note
• Only administrators can connect to a camera using the Setting
Page and Admin Tools.
• Authorized users with camera control privileges can also
connect using Admin Viewer. You can set the user privileges of
registered users with [Access Control] > [User Authority] on
the Setting Page (p. 64).
• Depending on the security settings in Internet Explorer, the
blocked content dialog box may appear when attempting to
access the Setting Page, Admin Tools or the Viewers when
using the camera with Internet Explorer 9 or greater, or on
Windows Server 2008/Windows Server 2012. If this happens,
click [Add] to register the camera IP address as a trusted site.
