Precautions for Preventing Access to the Camera by an Unintended Third Party 9
Precautions for
Preventing Access to
the Camera by an
Unintended Third Party
The camera may be accessed by an unintended third
party on the network, depending on the usage
environment. Changing the user name and password of
the camera administrator from the default settings is
highly recommended for security reasons. If the camera
is accessed by an unintended third party, there may be an
undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block
monitoring, etc.
The camera can be fraudulently accessed in a network
environment where a device is connected or connectable
to the network without the administrator's permission, or
a PC or other network device connected to the network
can be used without any permission. Connect to these
environments at your own risk. To prevent unauthorized
access to the camera, set it according to the following
steps.
Do not use the browser you use to set the camera to
access other websites while you set or after setting the
camera. You will remain logged in to the camera as long
as the browser is open, so to prevent an unintended third
party's use or execution of malicious programs, close the
browser after you finish setting the camera.
How to set up
1 Set the network address of the camera using SNC
toolbox.
For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to
the application guide.
After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change
the network settings of the camera. Use SNC
toolbox to search for the camera only.
2 Start the web browser and set the SSL function to
Enable in the camera settings.
For details, refer to “Security Menu — Setting the
Security” in the Administrator menu on page 36.
3 Restart the web browser and access the camera
again.
4 Set the user name and password of the
administrator of the camera.
For details, refer to “Security Menu — Setting the
Security” in the Administrator menu on page 36.
5 Check the Referer check checkbox.
For details, refer to “Security Menu — Setting the
Security” in the Administrator menu on page 36.
Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection.
Note
The model on sale in China does not support the SSL
function.

The following operation buttons are available. Switching Transmission
Mode
You can change the transmission mode for video/audio
data.
This function can be used when the video codec mode is
set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer in the live viewer is
used.
Note
The function may not operate correctly if you use
personal firewall software or antivirus software on your
computer. In that case, disable the software or select the
TCP mode.
1 Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the
Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.
TCP: This is normally selected.
When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is
adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is
the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In
an environment capable of reading Web pages, you
can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the
TCP port.
Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Real-
time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio
communications. Since RTP is the protocol for
running video/audio data, the video/audio playback
is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If
a firewall is installed between the camera and the
computer, or depending on the network
environment, video/audio may not play back
properly when Unicast is selected. In this case,
select TCP.
Multicast: This protocol is selectable when
Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the
Video / Audio menu or Video menu is set to
Enable. When Multicast is selected as the
transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport
Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are
adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting
it, the network transmission load of the camera can
be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a
multicast or firewall is installed between the camera
and the computer, video/audio may not play back
properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.
