Access to the network camera via the Internet Explorer
Defining a password to prevent unauthorised access
When delivered, no administrator password is defined for the CMOS network camera.
The CMOS network camera asks for this number at the start of operation. For security reasons, the
administrator should define a new password immediately. After the new administrator password is
stored, the CMOS network camera asks for the user name and password every time it is accessed.
The administrator can define up to twenty (20) user accounts. Every user has access to the CMOS
network camera, but not to the system configuration. Some system-critical functions are reserved for
the administrator, such as system configuration, user administration and upgrading software
programs. The administrator's user name is always root and cannot be changed. Following a
password change, the browser displays an authentication window and asks for the new password.
After changing the password, you cannot restore the original administrator password. Your only option
is to reset all default factory settings/parameters.
To enter a password:
Open the Internet Explorer and enter the IP address of the camera (e.g.: <http://192.168.0.99>).
You are prompted for authentication:
You are now connected with the CMOS network camera and can see a video stream.
Note: It may happen that your PC's security settings prevent a video stream. You can
change the security settings to a lower level under "Tools/Internet Options/Security". Make sure
you enable Active X Control Elements and Downloads.
