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 an undesired effect, such as operations or settings to block monitoring, etc.

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.

How to set up

1 Set the network address of the camera using SNC toolbox.
For details about how to use SNC toolbox, refer to the application guide.
After this step, do not use SNC toolbox to change the network settings of the camera. Use SNC toolbox to search for the camera only.
2 Start the web browser and set the SSL function to Enable in the camera settings.
For details, refer to “Setting the security — SSL tab on the Security menu” in the Administrator menu on page 46.
3 Restart the web browser and access the camera again.

4 Set the user name and password of the administrator of the camera. For details, refer to “Setting the security — User tab on the Security menu” in the Administrator menu on page 45.

5 Check the Referer check checkbox. For details, refer to “Setting the security — Referer check tab on the Security menu” in the Administrator menu on page 53.

6 Check the Viewer authentication box. For details, refer to "Setting the security — User tab on the Security menu" in the Administrator menu on page 45.

Hereafter, use the camera using the SSL connection. If you use the FTP still image sending function, the SSL function will be disabled, and communication content will not be coded. Do not use the FTP still image sending function if the camera is at risk of unauthorized access.

Note

The model on sale in China does not support the SSL function.

Area zoom ○	○	○
Vector dragging ○	○	○
PTZ control bar	-	○	○

Notes

- Pan/Tilt limitation

The e-Varifocal and Solid PTZ functions control streaming by cropping or reducing a maximum size image.

Thus, the more the camera zooms out, the less area to be panned or tilted, and becomes unavailable at the WIDE end.

- Zoom limitation

An e-Varifocal function adjusts the angle of image in the range with less image quality degradation by limiting the cropped range of the image to the shooting range of equal magnification size. Use the e-Varifocal function by selecting an image size other than the maximum size in the Video codec tab. Zoom limitation is changed depending on the selected image size.

The solid PTZ function enables you to display an area of 1/16 the maximum image size (Aspect ratio: 1:4), when zoomed in at the TELE end. An image cannot be enlarged beyond this.

And the whole area shot in the maximum image size will be displayed if the camera is zoomed out at the WIDE end.

The solid PTZ function's zoom is performed digitally; therefore, some deterioration in image quality may be observed at the TELE end.

- The Plug-in free viewer display method will be selected automatically.

Controlling via the control panel (Operation common to Area zoom mode and Vector dragging mode)

You can operate the camera direction and zoom by using the control panel for the monitor image currently displayed.

Pan/Tilt control

Click the arrow button in the direction in which you want to move the camera. Keep it pressed to move the camera continuously.

To return to the home position, click

Zoom control

Click to zoom out, and click to zoom in.

Zooming continues while the button remains pressed.

Note

The four edges of the image may be dark depending on the zoom position. This is a phenomenon related to the structure of the camera, and does not cause a problem.

Panning and tilting by clicking the monitor image (Area zoom mode only)

Click on the monitor image, and the camera moves so that the clicked portion is positioned at the center of the display.

Panning, tilting and zooming by specifying the area (Area zoom mode only)

Click and hold the left button of the mouse on the monitor image, and drag the mouse diagonally to draw a red frame around the portion you want to enlarge. The camera moves so that framed portion is positioned at the center of the display and is zoomed in.

Note

When the specified area is zoomed in, the center may be shifted or some portion of the image may appear out of the monitor image section. In this case, click the point you want to move to the center or click the arrow button on the camera control panel.

Panning and tilting by dragging the screen (Vector dragging mode only)

When you click on the starting point on the image and drag to the end point, the camera pans/tilts in the direction of the arrow from the starting point to the end point. The speed of operation is determined by the length of arrow. Releasing the button on the mouse stops the panning/tilting of the camera.

Using pan/tilt/zoom operations with the displayed control bar (PTZ Control bar only)

Pan/Tilt operations

Click the arrow of the direction you wish to move the camera. Continue pressing on the arrow to keep moving the direction of the camera.

Zoom operation

Click to zoom out, click to zoom in. The zoom operation continues while you are pressing on the button.

Switching Transmission Mode

You can change the transmission mode for video/audio data.

This function can be used when the video codec mode is set to H.264 and the ActiveX viewer in the live viewer is used.

Note

The function may not operate correctly if you use personal firewall software or antivirus software on your computer. In that case, disable the software or select the TCP mode.

1 Select TCP, Unicast or Multicast from the Connection drop-down list in the Other panel.

TCP: This is normally selected.

When TCP is selected, HTTP communication is adopted for video/audio communications. HTTP is the protocol used for reading the usual Web page. In an environment capable of reading Web pages, you can watch or listen to video/audio by selecting the TCP port.

Unicast: When Unicast is selected, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) is adopted for video/audio communications. Since RTP is the protocol for running video/audio data, the video/audio playback is smoother than when TCP (HTTP) is selected. If a firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, or depending on the network environment, video/audio may not play back properly when Unicast is selected. In this case, select TCP.

Multicast: This protocol is selectable when Multicast streaming in the Streaming tab of the Video / Audio menu or Video menu is set to Enable. When Multicast is selected as the transmission port, RTP (Real-time Transport Protocol) and UDP multicast techniques are adopted for video/audio transmission. By selecting it, the network transmission load of the camera can be reduced. If a router that does not correspond to a multicast or firewall is installed between the camera and the computer, video/audio may not play back properly. In this case, select TCP or Unicast.

Note

When connecting via a proxy server, neither Unicast nor Multicast can be selected.

Notes

• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need knowledge of the 802.1X authentication and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X network, you need to configure the authenticator, authentication server and other elements. For details on these settings, refer to the manual of the corresponding equipment.
• When using the 802.1X authentication function, always configure the settings after setting the date and time of the camera. If the date and time are incorrect, port authentication may not be performed correctly.

System configuration of 802.1X network

The following figure shows a general system configuration of an 802.1X network.

Supplicant

A supplicant is a device that connects to the authentication server to join the network. This camera serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X network. The supplicant can enter the 802.1X network after appropriate authentication by the authentication server.

Authenticator

An authenticator forwards certificate request data or response data that the supplicant or authentication server issues to the other party. Normally a hub, router or access point serves as an authenticator.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting users and verifies if the supplicant is a valid user or not. It can also be called RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)

A CA issues and manages certificates of the authentication server (CA certificates) and user certificates. The CA is essential for certificate-based user authentication. Normally a CA is located inside an authentication server.

Note

This camera supports EAP mode in which the supplicant and the server authenticate using the certificate. This mode requires a CA to issue the certificate.

Common setting

Enable

What is VMF

VMF is a function for detecting an object entering or passing through a specified area or inspection line, or when an object has been left or removed from a specified area or inspection line. Video/audio recording and/or audio file playback can be synchronized with this alarm. You can set the inspection methods to execute independently. Intrusion and Passing can also be set to execute in combination.

For example:

• An alarm sounds when an object enters areas A, B and C.
• An alarm sounds when an object passes through area A and enters area B.
• An alarm sounds when an object passes through areas A and B, and enters area C.
• An alarm sounds when an object enters area A, and passes through area B.

Intrusion

When a moving object enters the designated area, an alarm sounds.

Passing

A passage line is determined, and when a moving object passes the setting line, an alarm sounds.

Left object

When a moving object has been left in the designated area, an alarm sounds.

Removed object

When a moving object has been removed from the designated area, an alarm sounds.

Notes

• Before actual use, perform an operation test and confirm that the motion detection function works correctly.
• Even when privacy masking is used, the motion detection function operates based on the images before masking is processed.

Add detection area

Clicking this button will add an active area window in the center of the screen.

When you place the cursor on the area, the cursor changes to a crossed arrow, which you can drag to move the area.

When you place the cursor on the vertex of the area, the cursor changes to ↔ , which you can drag to move the vertex.

Add non detection area

Clicking this button will add an inactive area window in the center of the screen.

When you place the cursor on the area, the cursor changes to a crossed arrow, which you can drag to move the area.

When you place the cursor on the vertex of the area, the cursor changes to ↔ , which you can drag to move the vertex.

Delete Area

Clicking this button will change the cursor to a button. While the cursor is a button, click on a part of the area to delete that area.

After the deletion, the cursor will return to its original form. To exit this operation, click this button again.

It is the same function as the button displayed under VMF settings.

Add vertex

Clicking this button will change the cursor to a button. In that state, when you click on a part of the side of the area, a vertex is added to that point. After the addition, the cursor will return its original form.

To exit this operation, click this button again.

It is the same function as the button displayed in VMF settings.

Delete vertex

Clicking this button will change the cursor to a button. In that state, when you click on a part of the vertex of the area, the vertex added to that point is deleted. After the deletion, the cursor will return its original form. To exit this operation, click this button again.

It is the same function as the button displayed in VMF settings.

Note

The vertex can be moved in an outward direction but cannot be moved toward the inside of an area.

Detection sensitivity

Set the sensitivity of motion detection.

Intrusion

This criterion is for whether a moving object exists in the trigger area.

Similar to an active window, a trigger area can also be moved and vertexes can be moved, added or deleted.

Passing

Edit the pass inspection line according to the following procedure:

Passing object trigger line

By default, one passing object trigger line is displayed. The number of vertexes is 2.

Placing the cursor on the line will turn the cursor into a cross, and when you drag the line, the whole line will move.

Placing the cursor on the vertex will turn the cursor into ↔ , and when you drag the line, the vertex will move. The arrow displayed in the center of the passing object trigger line shows the direction of inspection. Trigger is performed when an object passes the passing object trigger position in this direction.

Trigger direction setting

Each time you click the trigger direction toggles among the directions left, right and both.

Passing object trigger position

Select the passing object trigger position from All sides, Left side, Top side, Right side and Bottom side.
