For development it might be useful to connect to the Network Camera by Telnet.
Depending on what product is used, this is either enabled by default and have
authentication or can be enabled by editing the /etc/inittab. If the product require
editing of the /etc/inittab, there will be no authentication for the Telnet connection and
no password will be required for access.
