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 the
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.
