   Figure 1. Add User Page
3. Set the required parameters.

   User Name

   For user name, only letters(a-z, A-Z), digits(0-9), and "-" can be contained.

   Password

   Create an initial password for the user which should be changed by the user for first time login.

   Note:

   We highly recommend you to create a strong password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you change your password regularly, especially in the high security system, changing the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

   Expiry Date

   The date when this user account becomes invalid.

   Email

   The system can notify user by sending an email to the email address. If the normal user forget his/her password, he/she can reset the password via email.

   Note:

   The email address of the admin user can be edited by the user with the role of administrator.

   User Status

   Two kinds of status are available. If you select freeze, the user account is inactive until you set the user status to active.

   Restrict Concurrent Logins

   If necessary, switch Restrict Concurrent Logins to on and enter the maximum number of concurrent logins.

4. Set the permission level (1-100) for PTZ control in PTZ Control Permission.
   Note:

   The larger the value is, the higher permission level the user has. The user with higher permission level has the priority to control the PTZ unit.

   When user1 and user 2 control the PTZ unit at the same time, the user with higher PTZ control permission level will take the control of the PTZ movement.
