S ECURITY
To ensure the highest security and prevent unauthorized usage of
the Wireless Internet Camera the Administrator has the exclusive
privilege to access the System Administration for settings and
control requirements to allow users the level of entry and
authorize the privileges for all users. The Wireless Internet
Camera supports multi-level password protection and access to
the Wireless Internet Camera is strictly restricted to defined users
whom has a "User Name" and "User Password" which is assigned
by the Administrator.
Administrator can release a public user name and password so
when remote users access the Wireless Internet Camera they will
have the right to view the image transmitted by the Wireless
Internet Camera.
Note:
When the Wireless Internet Camera is used for the first time it is
highly recommended the Administrator sets the "Admin ID" and
"Admin Password" to constrain users access to the Wireless
Internet Camera since the Default settings are Null String. Once
the ID and Password are defined only the Administrator has the
access to management the Wireless Internet Camera. This
24
procedure should be done as soon as possible since the security
features with the Wireless Internet Camera will not be enabled
until the "Admin ID" and "Admin Password" is defined.
