Change passwords on hardware devices
Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the complete feature
list, which is available on the product overview page on the Milestone website
(https://www.milestonesys.com/solutions/platform/product-index/).
You can change passwords on multiple hardware devices in one operation.
Initially, the supported devices are models from Canon, Axis, Bosch, Hanwa, Panasonic, Sony, Hikvision, and
ONVIF compatible hardware devices, but the user interface shows you directly if a model is supported or not.
You can also go to our website to find out if a model is supported:
https://www.milestonesys.com/community/business-partner-tools/supported-devices/
For devices that do not support device password management, you must change the
password of a hardware device from its web page and then manually enter the new
password in Management Client. For more information, see Edit hardware on page 205.
You can choose to:
l
Let the system generate individual passwords for each hardware device. The system generates
passwords based on the requirements from the manufacturer of the hardware devices.
l
Use a single user-defined password for all hardware devices. When you apply the new passwords, the
hardware devices lose connection to the recording server momentarily. After you have applied new
passwords, the result for each hardware device appears on the screen. For unsuccessful changes, the
reason for failure appears if the hardware device supports such information. From within the wizard,
you can create a report of successful and failed password changes, but the results are also logged
under Server logs.
For hardware devices with ONVIF drivers and multiple user accounts, only an
administrator of XProtect with administrative permissions of the hardware device
can change passwords from the VMS.
Requirements:
l
The hardware device model supports device password management by Milestone.
Steps:
1. In the Site Navigation pane, select the Recording Servers node.
2. Right-click the relevant recording server or hardware in the overview pane.
3. Select Change Hardware Password. A wizard appears.
