6.2.1.3 Streaming Authentication Setting
Streaming authentication prevents unauthorised users from extracting a stream from the
camera via the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). If authentication is enabled, users are
required to enter a user name and password before they can view a live stream.
Two types of authentication are available.
● Basic
This type provides basic protection against unauthorised access. It is supported by most
browsers. Note that passwords are sent over the network as plaintext. If intercepted they
can be reused by unauthorised users. Select this type only if you are using an SSL
connection or a dedicated line.
