IDA Standards  DB00671
This
	product	is	installed	with	the	WLAN	Module	which	is	certified	to	standards	set	by	IDA Singapore.
Security Precautions
Because Wi-Fi uses radio waves to transmit signals, security precautions\
 
more	stringent	than	when	using	a	LAN	cable	are	required.
Keep the following points in mind when using Wi-Fi.
•	 Only use networks you are authorized to use.
This product searches for Wi-Fi networks in the vicinity and displays th\
e 
results on the screen. Networks you are not authorized to use (unknown \
networks) may also be displayed. However, attempting to connect to or 
using such networks could be regarded as unauthorized access. Be sure 
to use only networks you are authorized to use, and do not attempt to 
connect to other unknown networks.
If security settings have not been properly set, the following problems \
may 
occur.
•	 Transmission monitoring
Third parties with malicious intent may monitor Wi-Fi transmissions and \
attempt
	to	acquire	the	data	you	are	sending.
•	 Unauthorized network access
Third parties with malicious intent may gain unauthorized access to 
the network you are using to steal, modify, or destroy information. 
Additionally, you could fall victim to other types of unauthorized access 
such as impersonation (where someone assumes an identity to gain 
access to unauthorized information) or springboard attacks (where 
someone gains unauthorized access to your network as a springboard to 
cover
	their	tracks	when	infiltrating	other	systems).
To prevent these types of problems from occurring, be sure to thoroughly \
secure your Wi-Fi network.
Only use this camera’s Wi-Fi function with a proper understanding of 
Wi-Fi security, and balance risk and convenience when adjusting security 
settings.
