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 eavesdropping. It is
required to install a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate for
implementing HTTPS.
To use HTTPS on the IP camera, an 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.
Create Self-signed Certificate
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a
self-signed certificate.
Click on <Create> and provide the requested information to install a self-signed
certificate for the camera. Please refer to the last part of the 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.
Install Signed Certificate
Click on the <Create Certificate Request> button to create and submit a
certificate request in order to obtain a signed certificate from CA.
Provide the requested information in the create dialog. Please refer to the
following section
Provide the Certificate Information
for more details.
When the request is complete, the subject of the Created Request will be shown
in the field. Click on <Properties> below the Subject field, copy the
PEM-formatted request and send it to the selected CA.
When the signed certificate is returned, install it by uploading the signed
certificate.
