Keeping Usernames and Passwords After Firmware Revert
To add a layer of security to protect the camera from theft, you have the option of keeping the camera's
current usernames and passwords after a firmware revert.
Normally if you restore the camera firmware back to the factory default settings, the camera returns to
using the default username and password. When you enable this feature, the camera will continue to use
the configured username and passwords, so the camera cannot connect to new servers without the
appropriate credentials.
Caution
: Forgetting your own username or password after enabling this setting voids your warranty.
The primary method of restoring the factory default username and password will be disabled.
1. Click the Network and Security tab, and then click Users.
2. At the bottom of the Users page, click to select the checkbox for Do not clear usernames or
passwords on firmware revert .
3. After you select the check box, the following popup message appears:
Please store your administrator password in a safe place. Password recovery is not
covered by warranty and loss of password voids your warranty.
4. ClickOK if you agree to the feature limitations.
Always keep a copy of your password in a safe place to avoid losing access to your camera.
Configuring 802.1x Port-Based Authentication
If your network switch requires 802.1x port-based authentication, you can set up the appropriate camera
credentials so that the video stream is not blocked by the switch. You can configure multiple profiles
(Saved 802.1x Configurations); but be aware that you can only enable one profile at a time.
Configuring the 802.1X Port Security
