HTTPS/CERTIFICATES
An HTTPS connection is recommended when accessing the DVR remotely, from another
network. An HTTPS connection offers secure access through encrypted communication.
The user must register a certificate for an HTTPS connection. The DVR supplies two
registration methods:
• Self-signed certificate: generate a certificate at the DVR.
• External certificate: register a certificate issued through an accredited authority.
To register a self-signed certificate, navigate to:
NETWORK>NETWORK>MAINTENANCE>HTTPS/CERTIFICATES
Click ‘Generate’ and fill out the information needed. Fields marked with an ‘
*’ are
mandatory.
The DVR’s time zone must be set BEFORE generating the certificate. The time on the DVR
and network must match. Skipping this step may impact the validity of the generated
certificate and the application time may vary.
When generating a self-signed certificate, a warning may appear when using an HTTPS
connection because this certificate is not authenticated through an official authority. There is no
problem with encrypted communication whether you register the certificate to the PC or
continue with the warning ignored. To access the DVR via an HTTPS connection without the
warning, you can import and use the certificate issued through an accredited certification
authority.
To register an external certificate, click ‘Import’. Locate and upload the certificate from a USB
stick.
