®
“3.9.1 Configure the settings relating to the user authentication [User auth.]”,
“3.9.2 Configure the settings relating to the host authentication [Host auth.]”)

(
®

“3.10.3 How to configure HTTPS settings”)
IMPORTANT
•
Design and enhance security countermeasures to prevent leakage of information such as image data,
authentication information (user name and password), alarm E-mail information, SFTP server
information, DDNS server information, etc. Perform the countermeasure such as access restriction
(using the user authentication) or access encryption (using the HTTPS function).
•
After the camera is accessed by the administrator, make sure to close the browser for added security.
•
Change the administrator password periodically for added security.
•
When using the SNMP function with SNMPv1/v2, do not set a community name that can easily be
guessed. (Example: public)
Use of an easily guessable community name may result in leakage of status information of this product
on the network or being used as a stepping stone for illegal access to other devices.
Note
•
When user authentication (authentication error) has failed to pass 8 times within 30 seconds using the
same IP address (PC), access to the camera will be denied for a while.
