What this tab is for
On this tab, you can install security certificates to enable secure connections between the
camera and web browsers. If, for example, the HTTPS port number is set to 443 and the IP
address is 192.168.1.64, you can establish a secure connection to the camera by typing
“https://192.168.1.64:443” in the address bar of the web browser.
Secure connections
With HTTPS implemented and used on the camera, a safe exchange of data between the
camera and a web browser is ensured. Information transported over the network, such as
device settings and credentials, is encrypted to protect it against eavesdropping.
Certificates
To implement HTTPS on the camera, you need to install an HTTPS certificate. You can use a
self-signed certificate or one created by a Certificate Authority (CA). CA-issued certificates
provide a higher level of security and inspire more trust than self-signed certificates. Self-
signed certificates are often installed for test purposes or as a temporary solution until a CA-
issued certificate has been obtained.
To create a self-signed certificate
1
To turn on HTTPS, select Enable.

The certificate information is shown in the HTTPS tab after you successfully created the
certificate.
