    Admin Viewer/VB Viewer
    Access the Viewers included on the camera with a web browser to view and use live video, and configure 
    those display settings. 
    						
    							138
    Two types of Viewers are included on the camera, the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer.
    All panels are opened in these sample screenshots.
    Major Differences Between the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer
    The scope of operations for Admin Viewer and VB Viewer differ.
    Admin Viewer:
    This viewer, in addition to using video, gives users administrative controls, such as for shooting conditions or event 
    detection display.
    VB Viewer:
    This viewer is limited to basic im age operations for viewing images.
    Viewer Access Restrictions
    Besides administrators, authorized user s and guest users can access the Viewers.
    The Viewers each user can access depend  on the granted access privileges (P. 118).
    Administrator:
    This user is granted full privileges  and can launch the Admin Viewer and VB Viewer. The user name is fixed to “root”.
    The administrator can prohibit all camera access from guest users  by revoking all privileges for authorized users and guest 
    users.
    Authorized user:
    This user can launch the Admin Viewer and VB Viewer if privileged camera control has been granted.
    It is necessary to register th e user name and password (P. 118).
    Guest user:
    This user can only use a limited set of f unctions. Guest users can launch the VB Viewer.
    The four types of privileges for using  the Viewers are privileged camera control, camera contro l, video distribution and 
    audio distribution.

    The scope of each privilege and whether it can be granted to a user is shown below.
    Note
     The factory default setting gives privileged  camera control to [Authorized User] as well.
     If you disable all guest user privileges, the user authenticati on dialog box will appear when you launch the VB Viewer. When the name 
    and password for an authorized user or admi nistrator are entered, the VB Viewer can be used with authorized user or administrator 
    privileges, respectively.

    Important
    The Admin Viewer launched by an administrator  can access only one camera at a time. While administrator privileges are used to  
    access the camera from a given computer, access with administra tor privileges from other computers will not be granted.
    In contrast, the camera can be accessed simultaneously by multiple  instances of the Admin Viewer launched by [Authorized Users] from 
    different computers. Take note, however, that when controlling the  camera, the control privileges are given to the user who accessed the 
    camera most recently.
