HTTPS settings
Using HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) is a secure protocol that provides
authenticated and encrypted communication. It ensures that there is a secure private
channel between the recorder and cameras
You can create self-signed server certificates as well as request certified server
certificates to ensure your network security.
To create a certificate:
1. Go to Configuration > Network Settings > HTTPS of the browser.
2. Click “Create Self-Signed certificate”.
3. Type in the country, hostname/IP address, and days of validity (there are more
parameters, but you don’t need to add anything to them).
4. Click OK.
5. Check “Enable HTTPS”.
This only works if you enter the address in the browser as HTTPS (as in
https://192.168.1.70).
