MPC-2610Security PrecautionsHelp Guide

This topic describes precautions when connecting the unit to the Internet.

• The unit cannot connect via wireless LAN to an access point that uses only WEP or WPA, which are security methods that have vulnerabilities.
• The unit is not a network device (for example, a router or switching hub). It is strongly recommended that you connect the unit to a network where you can configure and manage the network settings appropriately to protect against network-based attacks, such as DoS attacks (Denial of Service attacks).
• When connecting the unit to a network, connect it via a router that is configured and managed appropriately, or connect it to a LAN port that has the same functionality. If connected without such protection (for example when using free Wi-Fi), security issues may occur. When properly configured, routers provide sufficient protection against DoS attacks or loss of functionality of devices in the network. If you notice anything unusual, immediately disconnect the camera from the network.
