The first user can be created using any of the following methods:

l
interface. If the camera is in the factory default state you will be redirected to the Add a new user
page to create the first user. For more information, see the Avigilon High Definition H4 and H5 IP
Camera Web Interface User Guide.
Camera Configuration Tool version 1.4.4 or later: cameras discovered in the factory default state will
l
be identified by
the Avigilon Camera Configuration Tool User Guide.
USB Wi-Fi Adapter: when connecting a camera in the factory default state, you will be redirected to
l
the Create Administrator User page to create the first user. For more information, see Avigilon USB
Wi-Fi Adapter System User Guide.
Avigilon Control Center software version 7.4 or later, or version 6.14.12 or later: when connecting a
l
camera in the factory default state, the client software will ask you to create a new user. For more
information, see the Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide.
