Authentication

What’s a passkey

Passkey is used to authenticate two Bluetooth devices that have not previously connected to each other and create a trusted relationship between them.

You need to enter the same characters (passkey) to each device on passkey authentication process.

Once authentication of the device has been confirmed, the camera registered the device as a record. Since then you can connect the device without entering a passkey.

To ensure proper security, the passkey entry has a time limit (30 seconds), based on the Bluetooth standards.

The passkey entry may be required when the authentication valid period of the camera on other device is expired, the record is deleted, or the security setting is changed.

Passkey entry may be required, depending on devices, each time you intend to connect.

This “Passkey” is also referred to as a “Bluetooth passkey” etc. “PIN” is also used with the same meaning.

You can enter a passkey with up to 16

a four-character passkey.

 

The character types and the number of

 

characters available depend on the device.
