    If you are using the Carlo account for normal access (not administration), then it is fine.

        yes I do like this.

        what the need of admin?

        The admin account is needed when you access the admin web ui.

         

        It also has one other feature - you can mount the entire NAS data volume to a single drive letter if you use the admin credentials.
