3.1Changing the Authentication Setting and Administrator User Name and Password

The Security: Administrator page allows you to change authentication, and the administrator's user name and password. An authentication window allows registered users to access the camera.

Note

If you access the camera for the first time, the window for setting the administrator's user name and password is displayed. Make a note of the user name and password so that you will not forget them.

The user name and password should be secured at your own responsibility. Pay attention to the following points.

Set a user name and password with as many characters as possible.

Change the password regularly.

Setting [Permit access from guest users] (permitting access without a User Name or Password) or [Permit access from guest users (mobile only)] (permitting access without a User Name or Password) at General Authentication risks the images being viewed by third parties. Control the contents of the images accordingly.

IMPORTANT

It is important to limit access to the camera by use of a unique User Name and a secret Password. Since the camera is accessed through the Internet it is possible that the camera could be accessed by unknown individuals, including those who are commonly known as "crackers" to whom you do not want to allow access. The use of a unique User Name and a Password known only to you will help insure that only authorized individuals are given access to the camera. You have the option of proceeding without a User Name and Password, but it is strongly recommended that you utilize these protections.
