Streaming Authentication Setting
This setting provides security against unauthorized users from getting streaming
via Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). If the setting is enabled, users will be
requested to enter user name and password before viewing the live streams.
There are three security modes available: Disable, Basic and Digest. Refer to
the descriptions below for more details.
Disable
If disable mode is selected, there will be no security provided to against
unauthorized access. Users will not be asked to input user name and
password for authentication.
Basic
This mode can only provide basic protection for the live streams.
There will still be risks for the password being intercepted.
Digest
Digest mode is a safer option for protection. The password is sent in an
encrypted format to prevent it from being stolen.
