3.3 Logging In

The authentication mechanism is implemented in Launcher. If user has already

passed the authentication in Launcher, Monitor can be invoked without further

authentication. If not, the Authentication of Launcher will be popped up and user

must pass it to get Monitor shows up. There are two privileges in the user-protection

system: the root (administrator) and the general user.

In the Monitor tool system, root privilege includes the right to access Video Server /

Network Camera series products as well as changing local settings. However, this

root privilege is not the same as that of the root privilege of the Video Server /

Network Camera series product. You can change the settings of each selected Video

Server / Network Camera in the remote site only if you have the root privilege of the

remote Video Server / Network Camera series product.

If you have the root privilege, you can do the following:

Running the configuration tool

Changing the recording schedule

Change the local settings

Again, if you need to change the settings of remote Video Server / Network Camera

series products, you must have the root user password for each of the products.

This is not implemented in the current version. Only the root user can log in to this

application software.
