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
60.
5
Check the Referer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on page
60.
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 64.
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
60.
3
Restart the web browser and access the camera
again.

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 (page 42) is On. When
Multicast is selected, 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.

wired or wireless port-based authentication in
compliance with the 802.1X standard.
The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common,
Client certificate and CA certificate.
Notes
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need
knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and
WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X
network, you need to configure the authenticator,
access point, 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.

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
Administrating the Camera
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 Tab – Basic setting of
802.1X authentication function
EAP identity
Type the user name to identify the client in the 802.1X
authentication server using 3 to 253 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 between 1 to 50.
Reset
To change the once set EAP password, click Reset and
clear the current password. A new password can be
entered.
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.
