3.10 Security Properties

The Security properties page contains user/password information for
securing NetCam from unwanted visitors.
NetCam Users
NetCam has its own multi-user capable, password protected operating
system. By default, the live images can be viewed by anyone and only the
configuration pages are password protected. However, these options can
be changed.
admin - The admin user has configuration and viewing rights. It is
strongly recommended that you change the default password
(initially "admin") to something else. This will prevent anonymous
users from logging into the camera and making changes. Choose
a password that cannot be easily guessed. The password can be a
combination of alpha and numeric characters, upper and lowercase
(maximum 8 characters).
Tip: Use a password that cannot be easily guessed (maximum 8 characters).
viewer - The viewer user only has viewing rights (this user cannot
access the configuration menus). By default, the viewer user has no
password. This allows anyone to view the images on the camera
without being prompted for a password. If you want to block public
access to the live image, you will need to change the password for
the viewer user.
To modify the password of an existing user, click on the user name
and then type in a new password in the password field (retype it in the
verify password field). Then click the Add/Modify button.
Tip:
Do not forget your password. If you do, you will have to open the top half of
the camera case and press the Defaults button on the circuit board.
