4.2.2.2 HTTPS
The HTTPS setting can be found under this path:
System> Security> HTTPS
.
<HTTPS> allows secure connections between the IP Camera and web browser using
<Secure Socket Layer (SSL)> or <Transport Layer Security (TLS)>, which ensure camera
settings or Username/ Password info from snooping. It is required to install a self-signed
certificate or a CA-signed certificate for implementing <HTTPS>.
To use HTTPS on the IP Camera, a HTTPS certificate must be installed. The HTTPS
certificate can be obtained by either creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate
Authority (CA) or creating a self-signed HTTPS certificate, as described below.
Figure 4-4
Create Self-signed Certificate
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a self-signed
certificate first.
Click on <Create> button under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the requested
information to install a self-signed certificate for the IP Camera. Refer to the last part of this
section:
Provide the Certificate Information
for more details.
NOTE:
The self-signed certificate does not provide the same high level of security as
when using a CA-issued certificate.
