Users
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving these user names and passwords.
It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live View page, as described
below:
The user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
Viewer Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
Operator An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events, and adjust certain other settings.
Operators have no access to System Options.
Administrator An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup tools and can determine the registration of all
other users.
The AXIS M10 Series Network Camera supports different methods of user authentication:
HTTP Basic Authentication - This authenticates the user by requesting a user name and a password. The exchange of
network credentials is in simple base64 coding and is not encrypted.
HTTP Digest Authentication - This method also requests a user name and password, but the exchange of credentials is
encrypted, which secures it against eavesdropping.
HTTP/RTSP Password Settings -
there are viewing clients that do not support encryption, or if you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients do
support encryption, but need to log in again, and be configured to use this functionality.
User Settings -
Check the relevant box to enable anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live
View page.
Enable Basic Setup -
Before using the AXIS M10 Series Network Camera, there are certain settings that should be made,
most of which require Administrator access privileges. To quickly access these settings use the Basic Setup in the menu. All
settings are also available from the standard setup links in the menu. Basic Setup is enabled by default but can be disabled
and removed from the menu.
IP Address Filter
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the network camera. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list are
allowed or denied access according to the selection made in the drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.
The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses).
All other IP addresses not in this list will be allowed or denied access accordingly. In other words, if the addresses in the list
are allowed, then all others are denied access, and vice versa.
HTTPS
The network cameras support encrypted browsing using HTTPS.
A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create
self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some
protection, true security is only implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.
Select the type of password to allow. You may need to allow unencrypted passwords if
