Users
To prevent any unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 250S supports multi-level and
multi-user password protected access. A maximum of 20 users may be defined. An
Administrator has unrestricted access to the product's administration tools and can
determine the registration and rights for all other users.
The Users List displays all of the users currently defined. The administrator user name
(root) is permanent and cannot be deleted. The default password (pass), however, can and
should be changed. See the important notes below.
Important!
• The default password (pass) for the pre-configured user (root) should be changed as soon as possible.
Once this is done, the product's security features will be enabled, and access to the Live View page
and the Administration tools will be restricted to defined users only, unless Anonymous Login is also
enabled, in which case anonymous access to the Live View page will be allowed.
• Note also that if the root password is not changed, then the Enable anonymous viewer login check-
box will have no effect, checked or not.
• The Enable anonymous viewer login checkbox will, after the root password has been changed, be dis-
abled by default.
• All Axis products are shipped with the same default Administrator password.
• Changing the root password and, later, changing it back to pass will return the security function to
its original state.
