on the MAC address of the camera and the time of the super verification code according to
certain rules. Then the user password can be changed by entering the verification code.
4.5 Password Aging
Security risks may arise if you use the same password for a long period of time. To this end,
the program records the time when the password was changed last time. The system will ask
you whether to change the password again if the current login time is 90 days later than the
last password change time.
When you decide to change the password, the screen as shown below displays. As instructed
on the screen, use your old password for verification and set a new password.
