NOTES
•
To ensure security on the internet, all web browsers provide several security levels that 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 usernames 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.
