Overview
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
27.
5
Check the Referer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page
27.
Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. If
you use the FTP still image sending function, the SSL
function will be disabled, and communication content
will not be coded. Do not use the FTP still image
sending function if the camera is at risk of unauthorized
access.
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.

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.
Note
The model on sale in China does not support the SSL
function.
