I have two users on BI: Admin and user2. When I login to BI webserver from the internet (port forwading is fine) or the local lan it always defaults to user2. How would I login to the webserver as Admin or any other user that I should later choose to add at a later date. TIA

you need to enter the admin username and password.

clarify please. If i login to the webserver like: http://mydomain.org:81 then I am loged as user2. If I want to login as user "admin" what would be the syntax to satisfy your response

When you hit the webserver it asks for a username and password....enter admin and the password...doesnt get any simpler than that.
 
I had authentication turned off. What I am trying for is to broadcast 1 of the 4 cameras to the www and not the other 3 cameras. But I also wanted to view all 4 cameras locally through a browser. I have set up a group to successfully achieve this. I was hoping that a user without a password could manage this but it does not appear that way.

you dont want to leave your webserver open with no authentication....that is silly.
 
I would agree but I want to make the one camera public on the WWW. Its a bird feeder. Now to do this I have to "give out" the user/passwd pair associated with the group to load that one camera. Its getting late so I will review what I have tomorrow. I don't see any other way then to use groups to show specific cameras. This then requires that you login to the user with the same group that is assigned to the camera you wish to broadcast

there are other better ways to embed the video in a webpage or stream to youtube (or similar) without giving everyone not only your ip address but telling them there is a video server there...
 
can you provide an example of embedding a BI camera in a webpage. I have done before but not with BI. Also a link to youtube streaming.
