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
38.
5
Check the Referrer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page

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.
Overview
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.

Mode
You can change the transmission mode for video/audio
data.
This function can be used when the video codec mode is

Note
The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on your
computer. In that case, disable the software or select the
TCP mode.
1
Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is
adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the
TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Realtime Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio 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/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,
select TCP.
Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the Video / Audio menu is set to Enable. When
Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP
(Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast
techniques are adopted for video/audio
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/audio may not play back properly.
In this case, select TCP or Unicast.

Setting the Security — Security Menu
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication and digital
certificate. To establish an 802.1X network, you need
to configure the authenticator, authentication server
and other elements. For details on these settings, refer
to the manual of the corresponding equipment.
• When using the 802.1X authentication function,
always configure the settings after setting the date and
time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect,
port authentication may not be performed correctly.
System configuration of 802.1X
network
The following figure shows a general system
configuration of an 802.1X network.
EAP identity
Type the user name to identify the client in the 802.1X
authentication server up to 250 characters.
EAP password
A supplicant EAP password is needed to be inputted
when PEAP is selected with EAP condition. The
password can contain half-width letters and the length
should be within 50 characters.
Reset
To change the once set EAP password, click Reset and
clear the current password. A new password can be
entered.
Supplicant
(camera)
Authenticator
(hub or router)
Authentication
server + CA
Supplicant
A supplicant is a device that connects to the
authentication server to join the network. This camera
serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The
supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after
appropriate authentication by the authentication server.
Authenticator
An authenticator forwards certificate request data or
response data that the supplicant or authentication server
issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or
access point serves as an authenticator.
Authentication server
An authentication server has a database of connecting
users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not.
It can also be called RADIUS server.
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA issues and manages certificates of the
authentication server (CA certificates) and user
certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based
user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an
authentication server.
Note
This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant
and the server authenticate using the certificate. This
mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.
Common setting
Enable
Select the checkbox to enable the 802.1X authentication
function.
Note
After you click Reset, if you wish to cancel the EAP
password change, click Cancel at the bottom of the
screen. This will cancel other changes made to the
settings.
EAP method
You can select the authentication method used with the
authentication server. This device supports TLS and
PEAP.
TLS: By this method, the supplicant and the server
authenticate each other using a certificate. This
enables secure port authentication.
PEAP: By this method, an EAP password is used for the
supplicant authentication and a certificate is used for
server authentication.
Client certificate
When TLS is selected as the EAP method, the client
certificate is imported, displayed or deleted for the
camera authentication.

ActiveX control
A component program object that can be used with web
pages or other application programs. The technology for
creating ActiveX control is part of software developed
by Microsoft.
Bandwidth control
To limit the amount of transmitted data.
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.
Frame rate
The number of frames of a moving image that can be
transmitted per a second.
HTTP port
DNS server
Bit rate
The rate at which data bits are transmitted.

Capture
To send audio and video converted to digital data from
video devices to a computer.
CBR
CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate control. When you
select this setting, bits will be consumed at a constant
rate.
Codec
Software/hardware for coding/decoding video and audio
data.
Contrast
The difference in tone between the lightest and darkest
portions of the image.
A port used to communicate between the web server and
the web client, such as a web browser.
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), is
capable of transmitting video data at a higher
compression rate than that of MPEG4.
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.
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.
MAC address
A network address that uniquely identifies each LAN
card.
Multicast
The class D IP address assigned between 224.0.0.0 and
239.255.255.255. Using this IP address enables you to
