Security

When connecting the camera to a network, make sure to use a secure network environment.

It is recommended to use the camera with the default settings.

When connecting the camera to a network, there is a risk of unauthorized access from unintended third parties or cyber-attacks. If access from an external network is not required, physically and/or virtually block access so that only specified devices can access the network. Additionally, Wi-Fi (wireless LAN) may be intercepted by malicious third parties, posing a risk of eavesdropping on communication content.

If access to an external network is required, it is important to implement a secure method of communication, such as using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) that can block access from the outside. Use Wi-Fi in a secure environment. AES encryption is recommended.

In particular, the following functions do not support protocol encryption for communication with the camera; therefore, use these functions in a secure network environment.

  • Content Transfer Professional

  • Camera Connect

  • EOS Utility

Caution

  • Canon shall not be liable for any direct or indirect damages caused by network security issues.
  • The camera cannot be directly connected to the communication lines (including public wireless LAN) of telecommunications carriers (mobile communications companies, fixed-line communications companies, Internet providers, etc.). When connecting the camera to the Internet, be sure to connect via a router or similar device.
