AXIS P8221 - System Options
System Options
Security
Users
User access control is enabled by default. An administrator can set up other users, by giving them 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:
The user list displays the authorized users and user groups (levels):
HTTP/RTSP Password Settings - Select the type of password. You may need to allow unencrypted passwords if there are
clients that do not support encryption, or if you recently upgraded the firmware and the existing clients support encryption,
but need to log in again, and be configured to use this functionality.
User Settings - Check the relevant box to enable anonymous viewer login - allows any viewer direct access to the Live View
page.
IP Address Filter
Enable IP Address Filtering to allow or deny access to the device. Once enabled, the IP addresses in the list are 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.
HTTPS
AXIS P8221 supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS.
A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create
self-signed certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some
protection, true security is only implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a Certificate Authority.
A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button.
When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of
any certificate request currently resident in AXIS P8221 or installed can also be viewed by clicking the Properties... button.
The HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the device.

IEEE 802.1X
IEEE 802.1X is an IEEE standard for port-based Network Admission Control. It provides authentication to devices attached to a
network port (wired or wireless), establishing a point-to-point connection, or, if authentication fails, preventing access on
that port. 802.1X is based on EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol).
In an IEEE 802.1X enabled network switch, clients equipped with the correct software can be authenticated and allowed or
denied network access at the Ethernet level.
Viewer Provides the lowest level of access, which only allows access to the Live View page.
Operator An operator can view the Live View page, create and modify events, and adjust certain other settings.
Operators have no access to System Options.
Administrator An administrator has unrestricted access to all menus for configuration and can determine the
registration of all other users.
