HTTPS/CERTIFICATES
An HTTPS connection is recommended when accessing the NVR remotely from another network.
HTTPS connection offers secure access through encrypted communication.
The user must register a certificate for an HTTPS connection. The NVR provides two registration
methods:
• Self-signed certificate: generate a certificate at the NVR.
• External certificate: register a certificate issued through an accredited authority.
To r egister a self-signed certificate, navigate to:
NETWORK>NETWORK>MAINTENANCE>HTTPS/CERTIFICATES
Click ‘Generate’ and fill out the information required. Fields marked with an ‘*’ are mandatory.
The NVR’s time zone must be set BEFORE generating the certificate. The time on the NVR
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 NVR 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.
