3.1 Changing 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 ma ny 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.
