This feature is very important for server security, as the activities of users logged into the system can be monitored here. If the user is taking any inappropriate action, he may be disconnected or blocked.
To access this feature, locate the Status item within the Users item in the Server Settings Menu, as shown in the figure below:
Once this is done, the user activity monitoring screen on the system will open on the right side, as illustrated in the figure below:
This list displays all users currently logged in, displaying information such as user name, IP address, type of access to the server and connection time.
•User: Logged in user name
•IP: User station IP
•Type: User connection type
•Details: Extra connection details. In case of a live video or video playback connection, the name of the camera being viewed will be displayed
•Secure Connection: Indicates whether the user connection is secure (via SSL/TLS)
•Connection Time: Total connection time for this user
To disconnect a user, select the selected user and click the Disconnect button and the following screen will be displayed:
•Block Users Account: With this option checked, all disconnected users will also have their account blocked.
•Block Users IP: With this option checked, all disconnected users will also have their connection IP blocked using the IP Filter feature.

Every camera being viewed by the user will generate a new connection, therefore an operator's monitoring station can have multiple connections, depending on the number of cameras being viewed or reproduced. |
