Axis Communications 207W User Manual

The user access control in the AXIS 207W/AXIS 207MW allows an administrator to set up 

and modify all other users, by providing these with user names and passwords. It is also 

possible to allow anonymous viewer login, which means that anybody may access the Live 

View page, as described below:

Users - the user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):

Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
An Operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events and adjust certain other settings. 
Operators have no access to the System Options.
An administrator has unrestricted access to 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 Motion JPEG and MPEG-4 viewers accessing the unit. This is useful if 

you need to save on bandwidth. Note that within the limit of 10 viewers, all mul-

ticast viewers count as 1 viewer.

IP Address Filtering
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the camera. Once enabled, the IP 

addresses in the list will be allowed or denied access according to the choice made in the 

drop-down list Allow/Deny the following IP addresses. 

The administrator can add up to 256 IP address entries to the list (a single entry can 

contain multiple IP addresses). The users from these IP addresses need to be specified in the 

user list with the appropriate access rights. This is done from Setup > System Options > 

Security > Users. 

Referrals
To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the cameras 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 (;). This option is 

only applicable to Motion JPEG video streams.
