access. Other users are authorized with user names and passwords, or the administrator can
choose to allow anonymous viewer login to the Live View page, as described below:
Users - the user list displays the authorized users and access levels:
User Settings - check the corresponding checkboxes to enable:
• Anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View page.
• Anonymous PTZ control login - allows any viewer access to the Pan/Tilt/Zoom
controllers on the Live View page.
IP Address Filter - The administrator can add up to 256 IP addresses to the Allowed IP
Addresses list. If the IP address filtering checkbox is checked, the AXIS 231D will only
allow access to requests coming from the IP addresses in the list.
The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the user list with the appropriate
access rights (User, Operator or Administrator).
Referrals - to prevent unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the
AXIS 231D 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(;)
