2.8 Changing Authentication Setting and 
Administrator User Name and Password
The Security: Administrator page allows you to change authentication, 
administrator user name and password. The authentication window is displayed, 
and allows the registered users to access the camera.
Notes
 If you access the camera for the first time, the window to set administrator 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 the user name and password as many characters as possible.
 Change the password regularly.
 Setting [Permit access from guest users] (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.
