3 Registering Users
3.1 Changing the Authentication Setting and 
Administrator User Name and Password
The Security: Administrator page allows you to change authentication, and the 
administrators user name and password. An authentication window allows 
registered users to access the camera.
Note
 If you access the camera for the first time, the window for setting the 
administrators user name and password is displayed. Make a note of the user 
name and password so that you will not forget them.
 The user name and password should be secured at your own responsibility. 
Pay attention to the following points.
– Set a user name and password with as many characters as possible.
– Change the password regularly.
 Setting [Permit access from guest users] (permitting access without a User 
Name or Password) or [Permit access from guest users (mobile only)] 
(permitting access without a User Name or Password) at General 
Authentication risks the images being viewed by third parties. Control the 
contents of the images accordingly.
IMPORTANT
 It is important to limit access to the camera by use of a unique User Name and 
a secret Password. Because the camera is accessed through the Internet it is 
possible that the camera could be accessed by unknown individuals, including 
those who are commonly known as hackers, to whom you do not want to allow 
access. The use of a unique User Name and a Password known only to you will 
help insure that only authorized individuals are given access to the camera. You 
have the option of proceeding without a User Name and Password, but it is 
strongly recommended that you utilize these protections.
