    Accessing this viewer via a web browser allows you to display video and operate the camera. 
    Two types of viewer are available, the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer.
    Major Differences Between the Admin 
    Viewer and the VB Viewer
     The operable ranges differ between the viewers. 
    Admin Viewer: 
    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. 64).
    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. 
    * Can be changed:  The Administrator can change the 
    privileges of Authorized Users and Guest Users (p. 64).
    The four authorities that can be set for users are privileged 
    camera control, camera control, video distribution and 
    audio distribution.
    Users must have privileged camera control to use the 
    Admin Viewer. 
    Users must have the video distribution authority to display 
    video using the VB Viewer. To operate the camera using 
    the VB Viewer, users must also have camera control 
    authority. 
    Audio distribution authority is required to receive audio 
    using the Admin Viewer and the VB Viewer.

    Admin Viewer/VB Viewer
    [Administrator] 
    This user is given all authorities. The user name is fixed 
    to “root”.
    The Administrator can launch the Admin Viewer from 
    the [Admin Viewer] link and the VB Viewer from the [VB 
    Viewer] link on the top page. 
    [Authorized User] 
    Authorized users can launch the Admin Viewer from 
    the [Admin Viewer] link on the top page if they have 
    privileged camera control. Authorized users can no 
    longer launch the Admin Viewer upon losing privileged 
    camera control. However, they can still launch the VB 
    Viewer. Launching the VB Viewer can be prohibited by 
    disabling all authorities of a given authorized user 
    (p. 64).
    [Guest User] 
    This user can only use the following functions:
    Backlight compensation, snapshots, video display, 
    audio distribution
    Pan/tilt/zoom camera control 
    Digital PTZ
    Guest users can launch the VB Viewer from the [VB 
    Viewer] link on the top page. The Administrator can 
    completely prohibit all camera access from guest users 
    by disabling all their authorities. 
    Note
     The factory default setting gives privileged camera control to 
    [Authorized User] as well. 
     If all guest user authorities are disabled, the user 
    authentication dialog box will appear when the VB Viewer is 
    launched. When an authorized user or administrator name and 
    password are entered, the VB Viewer can be used with 
    authorized user or administrator authorities, respectively.
    Important
     At any time, the [Administrator] can launch the Admin Viewer to 
    override the camera control privileges of another instance of 
    the Admin Viewer launched by an [Authorized User]. The 
    Administrator can retain the camera control privileges, but 
    doing so prevents authorized users from obtaining camera 
    control privileges. After viewing the necessary information, the 
    Administrator should always close the viewer or click [Obtain/
    Release Camera Control] to release the control privileges. 
     The Admin Viewer launched by the [Administrator] can access 
    only one camera at a time. While administrator authorities are 
    used to access the camera from a given computer, access 
    with administrator authorities from other computers will be 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.
