Operation Privileges

The operation privileges of users who perform network operation are divided into 3 levels (admin, operator, and guest). Each user who attempts to access the camera will be authenticated by the user name and password at login and granted an appropriate operation privilege.

Disabling authentication check at login

You may set [ANONYMOUS USER LOG IN] to “ON” on the USER SETTINGS screen to allow anyone to access the camera without any authentication check at login.

In this case, all login users are regarded as guest users.
This means that users will be presented with an authentication check dialog box if they attempt to perform any operation beyond the guest user privilege and must enter an adequate user name and password to proceed.

Login User

Login is permitted to the following 5 users.

When you access the camera for the first time, log in as an admin user.

Operation Privileges User Password (Default)
admin admin admin
admin2 admin2
admin3 admin3
operator operator operator
guest guest guest

Update your password periodically for security reasons.
For details, refer to the “USER SETTINGS” section.

Limitation of Simultaneous Connections

Up to 20 users have access to one camera at a time.

If two or more users with the same operation privilege, for example, two admin users, log into the system, the user who log in last will take precedence.

If you need to limit the PCs allowed (or disallowed) to access the camera for security reasons, you can register the IP addresses of those PCs on the SECURITY SETTINGS screen.

Updating of live video may become slower depending on your system environment as the number of login users increases.

The number of users who can connect to the system simultaneously may be limited depending on the display resolution setting.

Using the supplied “VA-SW3050Lite” monitoring software or the optional “VA-SW3050 Server/Client” recording/playback software also provides simultaneous access to the camera from your Web browser. However, if the user who is using the software configures one of the following settings, the Web-based admin user will be disconnected from the camera.
