Network security

As you will use the unit connected to a network, your
attention is called to the following security risks.
A Leakage or theft of information through the unit
B Use of the unit for illegal operations by persons with
malicious intent
C Interference with or stoppage of the unit by persons
with malicious intent
It is your responsibility to take precautions such as those
described below to protect yourself against the above
network security risks.
● Use the unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
● If the unit is connected to a network that includes personal
computers, make sure that the system is not infected
by computer viruses or other malicious entities (using
a regularly updated antivirus program, anti-spyware
program, etc.).
● Protect your network against unauthorized access by
restricting users to those who log in with an authorized
user name and password.
● After accessing the unit as an administrator, be sure to
close all web browsers.
● Change the administrator password periodically.
● Restrict access to the unit by authenticating the users, for
example, to prevent setting information stored on the unit
from leaking over the network.
● Do not install the camera in locations where the camera or
the cables can be destroyed or damaged by persons with
malicious intent.
● Avoid connections that use public lines.
Concerning user authorization
User authentication on the unit can be performed via digest
authentication or basic authentication. If basic authentication
is used without using a dedicated line equipped with an
authentication function, password leaks may occur.
Usage restrictions
Use of the same segment is recommended for the network
in which the unit and the controller or personal computer are
connected.
If the equipment uses connections with different segments,
events based on the settings inherent to the network
equipment, for instance, may occur so check this thoroughly
prior to operation.
