2.2.2.2 HTTPS
The HTTPS setting can be found under this path: System> Security> HTTPS.
<HTTPS> allows secure connections between the camera and the 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 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.
Enable HTTPS
Check the box to enable HTTPS secure connection. Once enabled, choose one
from the following two secure modes.
HTTP & HTTPS
Under this mode, HTTP & HTTPS secure connections are enabled.
HTTPS only
Under this mode, the secure connection is ensured by HTTPS only.
Click on <Save> to save the setting.
Create Self-signed Certificate
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a
self-signed certificate first.
Click on <Create> under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the
requested information to install a self-signed certificate for the camera.
Please 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.
