System Security

To prevent unauthorized use, the AXIS 2110 supports multi-user password protection and
access is restricted to defined users only. The system Administrator(s) has exclusive access
to the camera's Administration Tools and can determine the registration, and access rights
for all users.
User Access Rights
As an Administrator, click System and then Users to perform any of the following tasks:
• define or edit the administrator (root) password
• define, add and delete user names and passwords
• assign individual access rights to a selected user, where each user is given one or all of the fol-
lowing levels of access:
•Admin: a user granted Admin rights has exclusive access to the camera's Administration
Tools and can consequently determine the registration of all users.
•Dial-in: provides the user with dial-in modem access to the AXIS 2110 only.
•View: provides the lowest level of access, which allows the user to view the images only.
Adding at least one such user will disallow anonymous users.
Important!
• The Administrator's default username and password (set to root and pass) can be used for logging in
to the unit for the first time, but the default password must be changed to enable the camera's secu-
rity functions. All Axis products are shipped with the same password as default.
• By default, the AXIS 2110 is set for anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the Inter-
net/intranet can view the video images from a Web browser. To restrict open access, simply register
a single authorized user with viewing rights. This effectively revokes the anonymous user service and
restricts camera access to specified users. If the anonymous user service is satisfactory for your
application, simply do not add any other users.
