Basic Configuration by the Administrator
Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party
The camera may be accessed by an unintended third
party on the network, depending on the usage
environment. Changing the user name and password of
the camera administrator from the default settings is
highly recommended for security reasons. If the camera
is accessed by an unintended third party, there may be an
undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block
monitoring, etc.
4
Set the user name and password of the
administrator of the camera.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page
59.
5
Check the Referer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page
59.
6
When you use the e-Mail (SMTP) function, set the
TLS function to On. Use a mail server that supports
the TLS function.
For details, refer to “Sending an Image via E-mail
— e-Mail (SMTP) Menu” in the Administrator
menu on page 63.
Preparation
The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network
environment where a device is connected or connectable
to the network without the administrator's permission, or
a PC or other network device connected to the network
can be used without any permission. Connect to these
environments at your own risk. To prevent unauthorized
access to the camera, set it according to the following
steps.
Do not use the browser you use to set the camera to
access other websites while you set or after setting the
camera. You will remain logged in to the camera as long
as the browser is open, so to prevent an unintended third
party's use or execution of malicious programs, close the
browser after you finish setting the camera.
How to set up
1
Set the network address of the camera using SNC
toolbox.
For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to
the application guide.
After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change
the network settings of the camera. Use SNC
toolbox to search for the camera only.
Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection.
When you use the FTP server or the FTP client function,
use them in an environment where the network cannot
be intercepted by a third party. The SSL connection
cannot be used for the FTP server or the FTP client
function.
Note
The model on sale in China does not support the SSL
function.
2
Start the web browser and set the SSL function to
Enable in the camera settings.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page
59.
3
Restart the web browser and access the camera
again.

• Pan/Tilt limitation
The SolidPTZ function controls streaming by
cropping or reducing a maximum size image.
Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to
be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the
WIDE setting.
•Zoom
The SolidPTZ function enables you to display an area
of the cropped image from the maximum image size,
when zoomed in at the TELE setting.
And the whole area shot in the maximum image size
will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the
WIDE setting.
The SolidPTZ function’s zoom is performed digitally;
therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be
observed at the TELE setting.

Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Others panel.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is
adopted for video communications.
HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual
Web page.

SNC viewer
SNC viewer is an application which allows you to set the
initial state of the viewer.
Installing the SNC viewer
Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Real-
time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video data, the video playback is smoother
than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is
installed between the camera and the computer, or
depending on the network environment, video may
not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In
this case, select TCP.
Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming (page 41) is On. When
Multicast is selected, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are
adopted for video transmission. By selecting it, the
network transmission load of the camera can be
reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a
multicast or firewall is installed between the camera
and the computer, video may not play back
properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.
Note
When you are connected to a Proxy server, Unicast
or Multicast cannot be selected.
