| Account management
|
Basic
|
[9]
|
Account management for linked cloud services (like image.canon) is handled externally. The device itself has basic access control (e.g., menu locks).
|
| Authentication
|
Secure
|
[10]
|
Authentication with paired mobile devices is secured via standard protocols (WPA3, Bluetooth). It lacks multi-factor authentication typical of IT systems, but is appropriate for a consumer camera.
|
| Brute-force protection
|
Exist
|
[11]
|
Inconclusive from search results. Consumer cameras generally do not implement brute-force protection mechanisms for device access.
|
| Event logging
|
Access event logged
|
[12]
|
Inconclusive from search results. While operational logs may exist for diagnostics, detailed user access event logging for security auditing is not typical.
|
| Passwords
|
Require change after setup with complexity requirements
|
[13]
|
Inconclusive from search results. Wireless network setup uses the password of the target Wi-Fi network. The device itself may not have a complex default password, relying on initial setup by the user.
