trollers on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
IP Address Filter
The administrator can add up to 256 IP addresses to the Allowed IP Addresses list. If the
IP address filtering checkbox is checked, the AXIS 241Q/241S will only allow access to
requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.
The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate
access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).
Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the
AXIS 241Q/241S into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP
address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video
stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)
