    camera settings to factory default settings except for date 
    and time.
     If you connect to the camera using the administrator account, 
    it will not be possible to connect with administrator privileges 
    from a different computer.

    Viewer on the same computer, it is strongly recommended 
    that the [Remember my credentials] check box be cleared.

    [Administrator Password], the setting will be reflected in the 
    other [Administrator Password].

    browser if [LAN Interface] or [Maximum Packet Size] settings 
    are changed. Check beforehand the precautions in
