Server Port Configuration
The ports 55752 (control) and 55753 (media streaming) are used on the AXIS Camera Station Server computer for communication
between the server and the AXIS Camera Station Client. If required, the ports can be changed from AXIS Camera Station Service
Control, see AXIS Camera Station Service Control, on page 58.

User Permissions

Using Windows Active Directory, a high level of security can be implemented in AXIS Camera Station when granting user permissions.
Before users can be granted access to AXIS Camera Station, they must be added to the local computer or have an Active Directory
user account.
A user can be granted access as an individual or as part of a group. In cases where a user is granted access as an individual he will
retain this right plus receive the rights he receives as part of a group. For example, a user is given access to camera X as an individual.
The user is also a member of a group. The group is given access to cameras Y and Z. The user then has access to cameras X, Y and Z.
Administrators of the computer on which the AXIS Camera Station Server is installed are automatically given administrator privileges
to AXIS Camera Station. It is not possible to change or remove the administrators group's privileges.
To configure user access rights, open the Configuration menu and select User Permissions.
Local Security
By default, local security is Disabled which means all users, who log onto AXIS Camera Station Server installed on the same computer
as the AXIS Camera Station Client, will be given Administrator access. When local security is Enabled, access to AXIS Camera Station
is restricted to trusted users and groups for both remote and local clients. For remote clients, local security is always enabled.
To change the local security settings, open the Configuration menu, select User Permissions and click Security Settings.
