2.8 Changing Authentication Setting and Administrator User Name and Password
The Security: Administrator page allows you to change authentication,
administrator user name and password. The authentication window is displayed,
and allows the registered users to access the camera.

name and password is display ed. Make a n ote of the user nam e and pass word
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 the user name and password as many characters as possible.
• Change the password regularly.
• Setting [Permit access from guest users] (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 camer a by u se of a uniqu e User Name and
a secret Password. Becaus e the camer a is acc essed t hrou gh the Internet it is
possible that the camera could be accessed b y unknown ind ividuals, in cluding
those who are commonly known as "hackers," 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.
