What Are the Camera Account Types and Their Permissions?
Camera account is used to log in and access your camera. There are three camera account types with different permissions.- Admin(default): manage all the settings and the admin/user account
- Admin(Added by the default Administrator): manage all the settings and the user accounts
- Users: Preview, playback, and change its own password
The battery cameras only have the default admin account.How Many Accounts Can You Add?
Besides the default admin account, the NVR, PoE, and Wifi wired cameras can also add extra 19 other accounts.How to Add the Camera Account?
APP: Device Settings > Advanced > User Management > admin > Add User/Admin
Client: Setting->System->User management->Add user
If you would like to delete the user, you can just click the user name and then you can delete it.
We recommend enabling the Illegal Login Lockout setting on the user management page. If someone fails to input the correct password within 3 mins, the account will be temporarily locked for a few minutes. This can make your account safer.How to Share the Camera?
If you would like to share the camera, you need to tell others the UID of the camera. The camera account and password are just for login.
Another method is to use the Share Camera feature to share the QR Code with your friend/families in the APP. They just need to scan the QR code and then input the account and password. You can choose to share the admin/user account with them.
Settings->Share the Camera->Share the code->Click the “＋” on the display page to scan the code

Reolink Account and Camera Account
FAQ:
When I log in to the Reolink account on the APP on another phone, why are the cameras not there?
The camera will not bind with the Reolink account. You need to re-add the camera to the app using the UID/IP address/Domain or scanning in LAN. This can guarantee the account and camera safety.

You can provide any suggestions and tell me your question about our account and password setting. Comment below! -
@reolink-fiona I would rather name the Admin default as Super Admin. And for the privileges it is suggested that the Super Admin can assign any of the menus/submenus to each created user. Shouldn't be difficult to implement and its flexible as you will definitely have lots of requests asking you to allow this and that. I did implement this on a number of applications I wrote. Moreover logging is absolutely a necessity.

Hello, Interesting thoughts in this article. My name is Olivia Foster. Yesterday I returned from a conference on the topic: "how to protect your account in social networks." By the way, Facebook and Netflix were also mentioned at the conference. The conference turned out to be surprisingly meaningful and productive, although I thought I would be late due to a flight delay. But I managed to quickly find Manchester car hire.
