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.
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.

Set the network address of the camera using SNC
