Overview 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 undesired effects such as operations or settings that may interfere with viewing. 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.
