Important

controlling the camera, the control privileges are given to the authorized user who accessed the camera most recently. On the
other hand, guest users are placed in a queue.
• [Basic] > [Viewer] > [General] > [Default Page] must be set to [Display Viewer] to enable authorized users and guest users to
connect to the camera.
