This Application Note is intended for end users of the Eagle Eye Cloud VMS. Specifically, admin users who will be responsible for adding users and determining if they require Two-Factor Authentication.

Two-Factor Authentication provides enhanced security for all Eagle Eye Cloud VMS users by establishing trusted devices and allowing only camera and video access from those trusted devices. It is an extra layer of security designed to ensure that only authorized users can access the account and cameras, even if someone has obtained a user’s password. Two-Factor Authentication is commonly found and utilized by many businesses to protect online access to sensitive and/or personal information.

With Two-Factor Authentication, an Eagle Eye Cloud VMS account can only be accessed on devices that are trusted, like a mobile phone or a computer. When a user wants to utilize a new device for the first time, that user will need to provide two pieces of information – a password and a four-digit security code that must be obtained via a trusted phone number or a trusted email address.
