About the network security
Equipped security functions
The following security functions are featured in this camera.
qAccess restrictions by the host authentication and the user authentication
It is possible to restrict users from accessing the camera by setting the host authentication and/or the user authentication to "On". (☞ Pages 38 and 39)
wAccess restrictions by changing the HTTP port
It is possible to prevent illegal access such as port scanning, etc. by changing the HTTP port number. (☞ Page 45)
Important:
•Design and enhance security countermeasures to prevent leakage of information such as image data, authenti- cation information (user name and password), alarm mail information, FTP server information, DDNS server information, etc. Perform the countermeasure such as the access restriction using the user authentication.
•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.
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.
