6.4 Guest Users 6.4 Guest Users Guest users are anonymous users, and they do not need to enter a user name or password to access the camera. You can control the camera features that are available to guest users, and you can restrict guest user access altogether. IMPORTANT To prevent unauthorized access to the camera, it is important to manage who can access the camera through the use of user names and passwords. Because the camera can be accessed from the Internet, it is possible that the camera may be accessed by unknown individuals, including those who are commonly known as "hackers", to whom you do not want to allow access. If you choose to allow guest access (i.e., anonymous access), there is a risk that unknown individuals will access the camera and view camera images. You have the option of allowing guest access, but it is strongly recommended that you do not allow guest access, and rather create general user accounts and assign secret user names and passwords for use by known individuals only.
