Password protect individual cameras

Under Global Settings it's possible to protect all cameras with a global username and password.

With manual file editing it's also possible to protect individual cameras with a private username and password:

1. The files to be edited can be located through ContaCam's Settings - Browse Config/Log Files menu entry.
2. Open a command prompt and change directory to the folder opened by ContaCam's Settings - Browse Config/Log Files menu entry.
3. In the command prompt type the following line to create a password file for your camera:
   "C:\Program Files (x86)\ContaCam\microapache\htpasswd.exe" -c httpd_pw_cameraname.txt username
4. Open httpd_conf_editable.txt and append the following:
   <Location "/Camera Name">
   AuthType Basic
   AuthUserFile "Drive:\Path\httpd_pw_cameraname.txt"
   AuthName "Camera Name"
   Require valid-user
   </Location>
5. In the above pasted text set the correct camera name and the full path to httpd_pw_cameraname.txt.
6. Save httpd_conf_editable.txt and restart ContaCam.

Notes

• Repeat 1. - 6. for each private camera.
• httpd_conf_editable.txt survives ContaCam's updates.
