Security > HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over SSL)
This section explains how to enable authentication and encrypted communication over SSL (Secure
Socket Layer). It helps protect streaming data transmission over the Internet on higher security level.
Create and Install Certificate Method
Before using HTTPS for communication with the camera, a Certificate must be created first. There are
two ways: to create and install a certificate:
Method 1: Create Self-Signed Certificate
Step 1 Select this option from a pull-down menu.
Step 2 In the first column, select Enable HTTPS secure connection, then select a connection option: HTTP
& HTTPS or HTTPS only.
Step 3 Click Create certificate to generate a certificate.
The Certificate Information will automatically be displayed. You can click Certificate properties to
view detailed information about the certificate.
Step 4 Click Save to preserve your configuration, and your current session with the camera will change to the
encrypted connection.
