About secure passwords
Important
When setting the initial password, the password is sent in clear text over the network. If there is a risk of network sniffing,
first set up a secure and encrypted HTTPS connection before resetting the passwords.
The device password is the primary protection for the data and services. Axis' products do not impose a password policy as products
may be used in various types of installations, but to protect your data do the following:
• Don't use the default password that comes with the products.
• Use a password with at least 8 characters, preferably using a password generator.
• Don't expose the password.
• Change password at a recurring interval, at least once a year.
