Step6: Setting Up SSL Encryption
SSL encryption means that data sent to and from the cameras is always transmitted in
an encrypted format. This technique makes the recording of data and spying on access
data (nearly) impossible. To activate SSL encryption on the camera, proceed as follows:
1. Open the Properties window via the Camera> Edit Cameras menu.
2.
Or: Open the Camera List via the Camera> Show Cameras menu. Open the shortcut
menu for the desired camera. Click Edit. The Properties window opens.
3. Activate the checkbox Use secure connections (SSL) in the Access data tab.
4. Click Apply or OK to complete the changes on the camera.
5. Reboot your camera when you are prompted to do so.
The camera can now only be reached via an SSL-encrypted connection. You can also use
the encrypted connection from a Web browser by entering the camera's address, as in
the following example:
https://Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org:19801
Now proceed as described above in
Section 5.1.3
from Step3 onwards. You have now
integrated a T25 into MxEasy via the Internet.
Please note: For a computer with MxEasy that is remotely connected to the T25 via the
Internet, any ringing on the door will only be signaled acoustically and optically if the
computer (and the T25) are registered with a DynDNS service with the host name and the
port of its Internet router in MxEasy as the remote station. If this function (doorbell mes
-
sage) is also required while you are out for unknown ports (e.g., in the WLAN network of
a hotel or hotspot), we recommend using the MOBOTIX App for iPhone, iPad and iPod
touch, which has been developed specially for mobile use.
Notes
The IP addresses given here for cameras, routers, the ports and the DynDNS name
'Fritz-Mueller.dyndns.org' are only intended as examples. They should not
be used under any circumstances in order to protect your system from tampering.
Specify your own names and ports.
Access to the password-protected T25 website e.g., if you want to view live images or
open the door, is also possible in the browser of mobile Internet devices. The remote-
controlled door opening function is extremely practical if, for example, your T25 is
not equipped with an RFID or PIN-controlled access module (KeypadRFID), but you do
not have the door key with you at the moment.
Make sure that you have changed the default Access data for the Door Station (user
name 'admin' and password 'meinsm') when using the system for the first time: User
name remains admin, new secure password becomes the Super PIN for your system
(also see the Note at the beginning of this chapter).
