NOTES

can be adjusted for site that use SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology to transfer data.
SSL encrypts communications, making it difficult for unauthorized users to intercept and
view user names and passwords.
- SSL requires signed certificates to determine if the web browser accessing the camera has
a required authentication. This camera can generate a self-signed certificate using Open
SSL.
- If you select the HTTP connection policy to HTTP, you cannot access the camera using a
URL beginning with “HTTPS:”
- Self-signed certificates are valid for 10 years.
