AXIS 2120 User’s Manual Configuring Your Camera

System Security

To prevent any unauthorized use of the camera, the AXIS 2120 supports multi-user password protection and access is restricted to defined users only. The system

Administrator(s) has exclusive access to the product’s Administration Tools and can determine the registration and access rights for all users.

Notes:

•When accessing the Administrator Tools for the first time, you will be assumed to be the administrator and will be logged in as such, with the username root and default password pass.

•The root password must, however, be changed as soon as possible. Until this has been done, the security features in the product be will not be enabled. Furthermore, all Axis products are shipped with the same password by default. Close and restart your browser to complete the operation.

User Access Rights

As an Administrator, click System - 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 for selected users, where each user is awarded one or all of the following levels of access:

-

Admin: a user granted with Admin rights has exclusive access to the product Administration

Tools and can consequently determine the registration of all users.

-

Dial-in: provides the user with dial-in modem access only to the AXIS 2120.

- View: provides the lowest level of access, which allows the user to view the images only.

Specifying at least one such user will disallow all other anonymous access.

Important!

By default, the AXIS 2120 supports anonymous user access, which means that anybody on the Internet/intranet has access to the video images from a browser.

To restrict open access, simply register a single authorized user. This effectively disables 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 users. The Administrator’s own settings are enough to provide anonymous viewing access.
