Note

  • Connect the camera via a properly configured and managed router or connect it to a LAN port with the same functionality as a router. If you do not connect it in this way, security issues may occur. Properly configuring the router will provide sufficient protection against DoS attacks or loss of functionality of devices in the network. If you notice any abnormality, immediately disconnect the camera from the network.
