HTTPS, SSL, and TLS
Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) allows secure connections between the IP camera
and the web browser using Secure Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS),
which protect camera settings and user name / password information from eavesdropping.
To implement and use HTTPS on the camera, an HTTPS certificate must be installed. This can
be obtained by creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate Authority (CA).
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a self-signed certificate
first.
