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

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

Controlling using the monitor screen

There are three operations for panning/tilting/zooming on the monitor image: Area zoom mode and Vector dragging mode using a mouse, and PTZ control bar clicking a control bar.
• Area zoom mode
By clicking an image, the camera moves to the direction where the clicked point will be the center of the image. The Area zoom will move the camera in the direction that displays the area selected by the operator and zooms in at the same time. The operator can choose a part of the image to view and zoom in by surrounding the area with a frame by dragging the mouse. The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available.
• Vector dragging mode
The camera moves to the dragged direction. How long you drag the mouse determines the speed. Releasing the button on the mouse after dragging stops the panning or tilting of the camera. You can also use the camera control panel bar to change the camera direction. The zoom operation using the mouse wheel is available.
• PTZ control bar
You can control the monitor images clicking the control bars displayed on the image.
Notes
•When Digital zoom in the PTZF control menu is set to On, zooming of the specified area stops once at the T end of the optical zoom. If you want to zoom in further using the digital zoom, specify the area again.
• When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of the monitor image section. In this case, click the point you want to move to the center or click the arrow button on the camera control panel.
Panning and tilting by dragging the screen (Vector dragging mode)
When you click on the starting point on the image and drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end point. The speed of operation is determined by the length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops the panning/tilting of the camera.

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.

When Internet Explorer is used
When SSL session is established, appears in the right of the address bar on your web browser.
Setting the Camera Via a Network
When you use SSL connection for the first time
When you use SSL connection only with the SSL function Enable, you cannot access the camera if the SSL function does not work properly. In this case, you must reset the camera to the factory settings. (All settings will be initialized.) To avoid this, check that SSL connection is possible by performing the following steps.
1
Set the SSL function to Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients).
2
Click OK to close the viewer and the setting window.
3
Display the viewer in SSL connection. Refer to “Using the SSL function” on page 12 for connection.
4
After confirming that SSL connection is possible, set the SSL function to Enable.
Even if the setting window or the browser is closed as SSL connection is impossible, HTTP connection will be possible if Enable (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.
Configure the SSL or TLS function (called “SSL” hereafter). The settings allow the camera to communicate with the client PC by using SSL.
Notes
• When using the SSL function, always configure the settings after setting the date and time of the camera. If the date and time are not correctly set, it may cause browser connection problems.
• Reload the window when you change the SSL setting. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to reload.

• 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.
Setting the Camera Via a Network
Configure the wired port-based authentication in compliance with the 802.1X standard.
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
Notes
• 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.
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.

3G-SDI
3G-SDI (SMPTE 424M) is the SDI interface that can transfer in broadband. It can transfer signals with one BNC cable which supports 1080p/59.94,1080p/50 signals due to 3 Gbps transmission capacity.
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.
Digital certificate
An electronic certificate that a CA (Certificate Authority) attests that a public key to cancel a secret code is issued by an authentic publisher.
DNS server
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.
Bandwidth control
To limit the amount of transmitted data.
Bit rate
The amount of transmitted data per unit time.
Frame rate
The number of frames of a moving image per second.
HTTP port
A port used to communicate between the web server and the web client, such as a web browser.
Capture
To send audio and video converted to digital data from video devices to a computer.
CBR
Others
CBR stands for Constant Bit Rate control. When you select this setting, bits will be consumed at a constant rate.
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
Codec
Software/hardware for coding/decoding video and audio data.
Contrast
The difference in tone between the lightest and darkest portions of the image.
Default gateway
Device that can be used to access another network.
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.
MAC address
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.
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
transmit the same data to multiple equipment.

Glossary
Page 65
Network address
The portion that identifies the local network (subnet) in an IP address.
Network bandwidth
Bit rate that can be used for networking.
NTP server
Acronym for Network Time Protocol server. Network time server that transmits time information used in the networks.
Primary DNS server
One of the DNS servers that can first reply to a request by connected devices or other DNS servers.
SSL
Acronym for Secure Sockets Layer. This is a protocol developed by Netscape Communications Corporation to be used for communications of encrypted data on the Internet.
Subnet mask
32-bit stream used to distinguish the subnet address from an IP address.
TCP
Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol. A standard protocol used for Internet connection. Compared with the other protocol, UDP, TCP provides reliable communication but communication speed is slower.
Proxy server
A server or software that acts as an intermediary between a local network and the Internet so that it can connect to the Internet in place of a computer on a local network.
RTCP
Acronym for Real Time Transport Control Protocol. This is a protocol to transfer the receiver quality and the information such as sending condition and session completion to the sending side for transferring the data with RTP.
RTP
Acronym for Real Time Transport Protocol. This is a transfer protocol for delivering stream data such as audio and video in real-time. It defines a system where the receiver can order the packets in the correct order for packetization of data by adding the sequence number and the timestamp information to the packet header.
RTSP
Acronym for Real Time Streaming Protocol. This is a protocol to control streaming of real-time data such as audio and videos over IP network. RTSP can control playback/stop of streaming.
UDP
Acronym for User Datagram Protocol. A standard protocol used for Internet connection. Compared with the other protocol, TCP, UDP can transmit data faster, but reliable communication is not guaranteed.
Unicast
Transmission of data to specified equipment on a network by specifying a single address.
VBR
VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate control. When you select this setting, the bit rate will be adjusted to suit the camera scene.
Others
Secondary DNS server
Subsidiary DNS server used when a primary DNS server cannot be used.
Sharpness
The degree to which the boundary of two portions is clearly distinguished.
