 ■Network security
As you will use the unit connected to a network, your 
attention is called to the following security risks.
A Leakage or theft of information through the unit
B Use of the unit for illegal operations by persons with 
malicious intent
C Interference with or stoppage of the unit by persons 
with malicious intent
It is your responsibility to take precautions such as those 
described below to protect yourself against the above 
network security risks.
 ● Use the unit in a network secured by a firewall, etc.
 ● If the unit is connected to a network that includes personal 
computers, make sure that the system is not infected 
by computer viruses or other malicious entities (using 
a regularly updated antivirus program, anti-spyware 
program, etc.).
 ● Protect your network against unauthorized access by 
restricting users to those who log in with an authorized 
user name and password.
 ● After accessing the unit as an administrator, be sure to 
close all web browsers.
 ● Change the administrator password periodically.
 ● Restrict access to the unit by authenticating the users, for 
example, to prevent setting information stored on the unit 
from leaking over the network.
 ● Do not install the camera in locations where the camera or 
the cables can be destroyed or damaged by persons with 
malicious intent.
 ● Avoid connections that use public lines.
Concerning user authorization
User authentication on the unit can be performed via digest 
authentication or basic authentication. If basic authentication 
is used without using a dedicated line equipped with an 
authentication function, password leaks may occur.
Usage restrictions
Use of the same segment is recommended for the network 
in which the unit and the controller or personal computer are 
connected.
If the equipment uses connections with different segments, 
events based on the settings inherent to the network 
equipment, for instance, may occur so check this thoroughly 
prior to operation.
