    Users can use the administrative control functions, 
    such as shooting adjustment settings or event 
    detection display.
    VB Viewer: 
    This viewer is limited to basic video operations for 
    viewing video.
     Accessible controls are different. 
    Admin Viewer: 
    Users with privileged camera control can use this 
    viewer.
    Password authentication is required. 
    Authorized users must have privileged camera 
    control assigned by the Administrator beforehand 
    (p. 60).
    VB Viewer: 
    Users with camera control authority can use this 
    viewer. You can set the applicable options to 
    enable/disable authentication, etc. 
    User Authorities and Camera Control 
    Privileges
    User authorities and their relative camera control 
    privileges are specified as follows.
