Network Security Function

The recorder has two network security functions.

Limit access with user authentication/host authentication

Turn on the user and host authentication to limit users that can access the recorder.

Limit access by changing HTTP ports

Illegal access from port scanning is prevented by changing the HTTP port number.

To improve security even more

To improve network security, use a router to divide the subnet, make two layers of IP address authentication with the recorder and router. If the recorder is connected to a network that is not secure, you can improve security by inserting a VPN between the recorder and the host PC.

Important:

Network security settings vary depending on the LAN the recorder is connected to and the service provider and other various settings. Contact the network administrator to discuss network security.
