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):
The AXIS 209MFD Network Camera supports different methods
of user authentication:
HTTP Basic Authentication - This authenticates
the user by requesting a user name and a password. 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 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 or deny
access to the AXIS 209MFD/MFD-R/MFD-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 checkbox 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.
HTTPS
