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
undesired effects such as operations or settings that may
interfere with viewing.
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.
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 32.
5
Check the Referer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on
page 32.
Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection.
Tip
SNC toolbox stands for Sony Network Camera toolbox.
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.
2

Enable in the camera settings.
For details, refer to “Setting the Security —
Security Menu” in the Administrator menu on
page 32.

Switching Transmission Mode
You can change the transmission mode for video/audio
data.
This function can be used when the ActiveX viewer in
the live viewer is used.
Selection of Unicast and Multicast is available only
Operating the Camera Via a Network
when the video codec of image is set to H.264.
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.
• When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast
nor Multicast can be selected.
• The settings of connection items are saved
automatically. When saving as a setting other than
TCP, ActiveX viewer may not operate properly
depending on the network environment.
In this case, return to the initial setting by deleting the
file below.
For example: the main drive is C
C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Roaming\Sony\
SNCActiveXViewer\SNCActiveXViewer_configurati
on.ini
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
Streaming 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.
