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

62.

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

62.

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 67.

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

62.

Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

Click OK to close the main viewer and the setting window.

Display the main viewer in SSL connection. Refer to “Using the SSL function” on page 7 for connection.

Use the camera’s built-in certificate (For test use):

This mode uses the certificate and private key pair generated by “Generating a self-signed certificate” on page 51. Private key information corresponding to the certificate is stored in the camera. You do not need to install an external certificate. However, you cannot execute the existence proof that is one of the SSL functions for the following reasons.

– The private key generated in the camera is self-

signed by the camera.

– A prepared value is set for a distinguished name

(Common name, etc). – The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA. For reasons of security, we recommend using this mode only when there is no problem even if perfect security is not saved.

Notes

After checking that SSL connection is possible, cancel Allow HTTP connection for some clients selected in step 1.

Even if the setting window or the browser is closed as SSL connection is impossible, http connection will be possible if Allow HTTP connection for some clients is selected. First check the setting contents of SSL tab in http connection, then check the SSL connection again.

If Allow HTTP connection for some clients is not selected, you will not be able to access the camera if SSL connection becomes impossible. In this case, turn on the power of the main unit while pressing the reset switch on the camera to initialize. For details, refer to the supplied Installation Manual.

Note

SSL connection will load the camera down; therefore, not all images may be downloaded, and the mark may appear when the camera accesses the setting window from the browser. In this case, reload the window. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.

Motion detection detects moving objects in the camera image and outputs an alarm. In VMF, an alarm is notified when a motion detected under the motion detection setting passes, appears in, disappears from or shows any movement in a specified area or on an inspection line. The motion detection function and the VMF function can independently set off an alarm at the time of detection.

What are VMF functions

VMF is a function for inspecting whether a motion detected under the motion detection setting passed, appeared in, disappeared from or shows any movement in a specified area or on an inspection line. The inspection method is selected from Pass/Presence/ Appear/Disappear/Volume, and allows for a maximum combined inspection method of three, which can be simultaneously or sequentially executed. In the VMF setting, up to three patterns can be kept for each preset for the current camera position.

Passing

A passage line is determined, and when a moving object passes the setting line, an alarm is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Existing

When a moving object in the designated area exists after a certain period of time has elapsed, it will set off an alarm. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Appearance

When a moving object appears in the designated area, it will set off an alarm. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Administrating the Camera

Disappearance

When a moving object disappears from the designated area, it will set off an alarm. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Capacity

When the Capacity of moving objects in the reference area reaches definite number, an alarm is set off. FTP client alarm sending, image memory alarm recording and/or audio file playback can be performed in synchronization with this alarm.

Administrating the Camera

is selected, you may set the sensitivity manually.

Manual sensitivity

Set the Manual sensitivity from 1 to 100, the larger the number, the greater the sensitivity. Detection status: When Audio detection is set to On in

the Audio detection tab, the detection status is displayed. If excessive sound is picked up by the microphone, “Detected” appears; otherwise “Non-detected” is displayed. The input volume is indicated in a bar that helps you to calibrate detection levels.

Notes

• Test audio detection to confirm that it is functioning as desired.

• The audio detection function sets the detection level automatically according to the statistical samples of input volume and the sensitivity. Thus, the detection level may differ even with the same sensitivity.

• The detection of input volume cannot be updated when the Audio detection tab is open. This means at this time the detection level is not adjusted automatically according to the input sound. According to the characteristics, test audio detection when the Audio detection tab is open.

• Before setting sensitivity, in order to optimize detection, place the microphone in an ordinary location and sound environment for about 3 minutes before opening the Audio detection tab.

• The Audio detection alarm is off during playback of audio files.

• The Audio detection alarm is off during the audio uploading audio (from a computer).
