[. . . ] AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera User's Manual About this Document This manual is intended for administrators and users of the AXIS 225FD Fixed Dome Network Camera, and is applicable for software release 4. 30. It includes instructions for using and managing the AXIS 225FD on your network. Previous experience of networking will be of use when using this product. Some knowledge of UNIX or Linux-based systems may also be beneficial, for developing shell scripts and applications. [. . . ] Operators have no access to the System Options. An administrator has unrestricted access to all the setup tools and can determine the registration of all other users. User Settings - check the relevant checkboxes to enable: · Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page. · Maximum number of simultaneous viewers - enter a value here to restrict the number of unicast viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if you need to save on bandwidth. (Note that all multicast viewers count as 1 viewer. ) IP Address Filtering Checking the Enable IP address filtering box enables the IP address filtering function. Up to 256 IP address entries may be specified (a single entry can contain multiple IP addresses). Click the Add button to add new filtered addresses. When the IP address filter is enabled, addresses added to the list are set as allowed or denied addresses. All other IP addresses not in this list will then be allowed or denied access accordingly, i. e. if the addresses in the list are allowed, then all others are denied access, and vice versa. See also the online help for more information. Note that users from IP addresses that will be allowed must also be registered as users, which is done from Setup > Security > Users. 30 AXIS 225FD - System Options Referrals To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the camera 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 (;) 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 filtering 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 The AXIS 225FD supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS. A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some protection, true security will only be implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority. A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button. When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate.
