can choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:

eck the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
Anony
mous viewer login - allows viewers direct access to the Live View page.
Anonymous
PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan Tilt Zoom
controls on the Live View page (if Pan/Tilt/Zoom is available).
IP Address Filter
Che
cking the Enable IP address filtering box option 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 in
the list are defined as allowed or denied
addresses. Other IP addresses not in this list will be allowed or denied access accordingly; if
the addresses in the list are allowed, then others are denied access, and vice versa. See also
the online help for more information. Users from IP addresses
that are allowed must
also be registered with the appropriate
access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).
This is done from Setup > System Options > Security > Users.
Referrals - to pr
event unauthorized sources including the video stream from the AXIS
243Q Blade into external Web pages, check the Referrals option and enter the IP address or
Host name of the computer hosting the Web pages with the included video stream.
Multiple 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 fil-
tering 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.
Viewer Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows the user access to the Live View page
Operator An Operator can view the Live View page, creat
e and modify event types and adjust certain other
settings. The Operator does not have access to the Systems Options configuration pages.
Administrator An administrator has unrestricted access to the Setup Tools and can
determine the registration of all
other users.
