Group
There are two kinds of group, the general user group "Group 1" - "Group 20", and the administrator group "admin".
All users should belong to a group.
The general user group "Group 1 - 20"
The groups "Group 1" - "Group 20" are for general users.
When "By Camera Group Setting" is selected for "Operating Restriction" on the "Camera Properties" menu of a cam-
era, only users belonging to the same group can access the camera.
Even if users belong to the same group, what users can do with access to cameras differs depending on the user
type.
A camera can belong to two or more groups.
Note: The "Administrator's Page" cannot be accessed using a user name and a password assigned to a user
belonging to a general group.
Administrator group "admin"
Only users belong to the administrators "admin" can display the "Administrator's Page".
An administrator has to belong to the "admin" group.
If no user belongs to the "admin" group, it will be impossible to administrate the network camera server since no user
can access the "Administrator's Page".
All users belonging to the "admin" group can operate all cameras, record, play recorded pictures, and administrate
the network camera server by accessing the "Administrator's Page".
Restrictions
There are the following group restrictions.
• A user cannot belong to two or more groups. When a user needs to access cameras belonging to two or more
groups, the user is required to be registered in each group with different user names to access these cameras.
• To assign the camera to a group, select "By Camera Group Setting" for "Operating Restriction" in the "Camera
Properties" menu of the selected camera.
