In addition, to prevent third parties from identifying user name information (including passwords), register new user name information and delete the default user name information. For details, refer to "User authentication" on page 131. ≥ After accessing the unit as an administrator, be sure to close all web browsers. ≥ Store authentication information (user names and passwords) appropriately so that no third parties will be able to access it. ≥ 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. ∫ About security Be careful about the possibility of theft or loss of the unit, and be careful not to leave the unit unattended. Please note that Panasonic does not accept any responsibility for the compromise, manipulation, and loss of information caused by these events. ∫ Caution regarding laser beams The lens may suffer damage if struck by a laser beam.
