Users and Security
To manage user accounts and establish how your camera authenticates users (locally or remotely) go to
Network & Security > Users & Security. This gives you the option to Mange Users, Security,
Authentication for Pelco API and RTSP/JPEG.
Accessing Users and Security
Initially, the camera authentication is closed for viewing and configuring without a user name and
password. No user accounts exist in the default factory state. Once the Admin role is created and Local
Mode User Management is enabled, your camera will authenticate local user accounts.
If you are a user with Admin permissions, you can configure, edit, and delete local user accounts at any
time. When authenticating users locally, you will assign a role to each individual user. User permissions
are governed by the role assigned to them. When authenticating users remotely, users will be assigned
roles based on their CN and DN assignments.
Your camera supports the following four roles:
l Admins: Can access and change all camera settings. They can use all functionality of the camera.
l Managers: Can access and change all settings, except user permissions. Managers are also
unable to restore factory default settings.
l Operators: Can view video, use PTZ functions (where available), and use the API.Can view video
and have access to the Live View page controls.
l Viewers: Can view video and use the API.
Configuring Local Users
1. Click New User or select the user whose permissions and settings you want to edit.
2. Select an Access Level for the user.
3. Provide a user name between 2 and 32 alphanumeric characters for the user. User names are not
case-sensitive and are saved in lowercase characters.
4. Provide a password between 4 and 64 alphanumeric characters for the user. Passwords are case-
sensitive.
5. Re-type your password in the appropriate box to confirm your password.
6. Click Save.
Setting Security/Authentication
Security settings for the Pelco API and RTSP/JPEG include a choice of Open Authentication or
Closed/Require Authentication:
l Pelco API: Changes whether credentials are required when accessing the device via the Pelco
API. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not
recommended.
l RTSP/JPEG: Changes whether credentials are required when streaming video via RTSP or JPEG
pull. The Open Authentication setting leaves your camera open to various intrusions and is not
recommended
A user must be created before the security settings can be changed.
