User authentication
The user authentication function of this unit uses basic authentication. When basic authentication is used on an unsecured network, there is the risk of passwords being leaked.
We recommend using host authentication in such a case.
Configure the host authentication settings on the remote cameras. For details, refer to the Operating Instructions for the remote cameras.
Restrictions on use
With regards to the network for connecting the remote cameras and personal computer to the unit, we recommend that the segment is the same.
If there are connections for which the segment is different, events dependent upon, for example, settings unique to the network equipment may occur so carefully check the connections prior to the start of operation.
