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.

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.

Check the Referer check checkbox. For details, refer to “Setting the Security — Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page

59.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Glossary

Contrast

The difference in tone between the lightest and darkest portions of the image.

Default gateway

Device that can be used to access another network.

DHCP server

Acronym for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol server. The IP address of a terminal without an individual IP address can be automatically distributed by the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). The DHCP server assigns the IP addresses to the terminals.

H.264

An image compression format. The standard written by the JVT (Joint Video Team) a joint organization for standardization (composed of ISO and ITU-T. H.264), is capable of transmitting video data at a higher compression rate than that of MPEG4.

Digital certificate

An electronic certificate that a CA (Certificate Authority) attests that a public key to cancel a secret code is issued by an authentic publisher.

Digital zoom

Zooming in/out function of an image without using an optical zooming function.

DNS server

Acronym for Domain Name System server. As an IP address required for connecting to the device on an IP network is numerical and difficult to remember, the Domain Name System was established. A domain name is alphabetic and is easier to remember. When a client computer uses a domain name to connect to another computer, it asks a DNS server to translate the name into the corresponding IP address. The client computer can then obtain the IP address of the computer to be connected.

EAP method

Acronym for Extensible Authentication Protocol. This is a protocol extended from PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) and having an authentication function.

EAP-TLS authentication

TLS is an authentication protocol of the EAP methods using Transport Layer Security. By using digital certificates and other methods, EAP-TLS prevents data falsification, eavesdropping and spoofing.

IP address

Acronym for Internet Protocol Address. An individual IP address is basically assigned to each piece of equipment connected to the Internet.

JPEG

Acronym for Joint Photographic Expert Group. The still image compression technology or standards of ISO (International Organization for Standardization) and ITU-T. Popularly used as an image compression format on the Internet, etc.

MAC address

A network address that uniquely identifies each LAN card.

MPEG4

Acronym for Moving Picture Experts Group4. One of the MPEG standards for image compression format aiming to transmit images at a high compression rate with lower picture quality.

Multicast

The class D IP address assigned between 224.0.0.0 and

239.255.255.255. Using this IP address enables you to transmit the same data to multiple equipment.

Network address

The portion that identifies the local network (subnet) in an IP address.

Others

Frame rate

The number of frames of a moving image that can be transmitted per a second.

FTP client

Software to be used for accessing the FTP server.

FTP server

A server to be used to transfer files via a network.

HTTP port

A port used to communicate between the web server and the web client, such as a web browser.

Network bandwidth

Bit rate that can be used for networking.

NTP server

Network time server that transmits and receives time information over the networks.

Passive mode

The mode whereby a client FTP allows TCP connection for data transmission to the FTP server.

POP server

A server for storing incoming e-mail until you have read it.

Glossary

Primary DNS server

One of the DNS servers that can first reply to a request by connected devices or other DNS servers.

SMTP server

A server for sending or relaying e-mail messages between servers.

Proxy server

A server or software that acts as an intermediary between a local network and the Internet so that it can connect to the Internet in place of a computer on a local network.

PSK

Abbreviation for Pre-Shared Key. This is a shared key to make an encryption key, used with TKIP in WPA encryption standard. PSK sometimes means an authentication system using a key previously shared.

QoS

Enter a value in the DSCP (Differential Service Code Point) field included in the IP header to control communication service quality.

RADIUS client

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in User Service)

Others

is an authentication and accounting protocol managing network access, and a RADIUS client is a party that accesses the network. In Internet connecting service, a Network Access Server (NAS) such as that for dial-up and broadband access server is a RADIUS client. In a wireless LAN system, a wireless LAN access point is a RADIUS client.

SNMP

A protocol for monitoring and managing network devices.

SSL

Acronym for Secure Sockets Layer. This is a protocol developed by Netscape Communications Corporation to be used for communications of encrypted data on the Internet.

Subnet mask

32-bit stream used to distinguish the subnet address from an IP address.

TCP

Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol. A standard protocol used for Internet connection. Compared with the other protocol, UDP, TCP provides reliable communication but communication speed is slower.

TKIP

Acronym for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. This is used in WPA encryption for a wireless LAN. TKIP provides high security since it changes encryption keys based on PSK during on-going communication.

Saturation

The degree to which a color is pure.

Secondary DNS Server

Subsidiary DNS server used when a primary DNS server cannot be used.

Shared secret

A character string to be used for mutual authentication between a RADIUS server and RADIUS client.

Sharpness

The degree to which the boundary of two portions is clearly distinguished.

SLOC

Abbreviation for Security Link over Coax. SLOC is a technology that enables analog composite video images and digital IP signals to be sent simultaneously using just one coaxial cable. It was developed by Intersil Corporation.

UDP

Acronym for User Datagram Protocol. A standard protocol used for Internet connection. Compared with the other protocol, TCP, UDP can transmit data faster, but reliable communication is not guaranteed.

Unicast

Transmission of data to specified equipment on a network by specifying a single address.

WPA

Acronym for Wi-Fi Protected Access. This is an encryption standard for a wireless LAN. It provides higher security than the conventional WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) standard. In WPA, TKIP is used for the encryption method, and PSK and EAP are used for the authentication protocol.

WPA2

Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access 2. WPA2 is a standard with which AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is added to WPA.
