Note
When [Access Authen.] is set to [Off], communication is performed without SSH connection authentication or encryption, so the
content may be intercepted, or the camera may be accessed by an unintended third party.
Before connecting the camera to a smartphone or computer, make sure that [Access Authen.] is not unintentionally set to [Off].
The username and password for [Access Authen. Settings] are automatically generated and set when the camera is purchased.
When setting your own username and password, be careful not to be intercepted by others.
For the password in [Access Authen. Settings], set a character string that is long enough that it is difficult for others to guess, and
keep it securely.
If you unmask your password when entering it, there is a risk that it will be revealed to a third party. Make sure that no one is
around before unmasking.
Initialize the camera before lending or giving it to others.
For [User], set a string of alphanumeric characters/symbols of 16 characters or less.
For [Password], set a string of alphanumeric characters/symbols of 8 to 16 characters including both letters and numerals.
