Network security



As you will use this unit connected to a network, your attention is called to the following security risks.

(1) Leakage or disclosure of information transmitted via this unit (2) Unauthorized use of this unit by a third person with malicious

intent

(3) Interference or stoppage of this unit by a third person with

malicious intent

It is your responsibility to take sufficient network security measures such as those described below to protect yourself against the above risks.

 Use this unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.  If this unit is used in a system with a computer connected, make

sure that checks for and removal of computer viruses and malicious programs are implemented regularly.

 Do not install the unit in a location where the unit, cables, and other

User authentication

The user authentication function of this unit uses basic authentication. When basic authentication is used on an unsecured network, there is the risk of passwords being leaked. We recommend using host authentication in such a case. Configure the host authentication settings on the remote cameras. For details, refer to the operating instructions for the remote cameras.

Restrictions on use

With regards to the network for connecting the remote cameras and personal computer to the unit, we recommend that the segment is the same. If there are connections for which the segment is different, events dependent upon, for example, settings unique to the network equipment may occur so carefully check the connections prior to the start of operation.
