System Options
Security
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other new users, by giving them user
names and passwords. It is also possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may
access the Live View page, as described below:
Users - the user lis
t displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
To prevent unauthorized use of the product, the AXIS 209FD network camera supports multi-user p
assword
protection, where access can be restricted to a defined number of users only (maximum of 20).
The AXIS 209FD Network Camera supports different
methods of user authentication. These are:
• HTTP Basic Authentication - This
authenticates the user by requesting a user name and a pass-
word. The exchange of network credentials is in simple base64 coding and
is not encrypted.
• HTTP Digest Authentication - This method also
requests a user name and password, but the
exchange of credentials is encrypted, which better secures it against eavesdropping.
User Settings - ch
eck the relevant checkboxes to enable:
• Anonymous viewer login
- allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
• Maximu
m number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the number of Motion
JPEG and MPEG-4 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth.
Note that within the limit of 20 users,
all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer.
IP Address Filter
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow o
r deny access to the AXIS 209FD/FD-R/FD-R M12. Once enabled, the
IP addresses in the list will be allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the drop-down list
Allow/Deny the following IP addresses.
The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single
entry can contain multiple IP
addresses). The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate access
rights. This is done from Setup > System Options > Security > Users.
Referrals
To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video
stream from the cameras into external Web pages,
check the Referrals box option 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 (;). This option is only applicable to Motion JPEG video streams.
Notes:
•If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's
own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.
•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP address filter-
ing must be enabled.
•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not
using IP address filtering. If IP address filtering is used, then
the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.
