2.3.2.2 HTTPS
The HTTPS setting can be found under this path: System > Security > HTTPS
HTTPS allows secure connections between the IP camera and web browser using Secure
Socket Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS) which protect camera settings or user
name/password info against snooping. It is required to install a self-signed certificate or a
CA-signed certificate for implementing HTTPS.
To use HTTPS on the IP cameras, a HTTPS certificate must be installed. The HTTPS
certificate can be obtained by either creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate
Authority (CA) or creating a self-signed HTTPS certificate, as described below.
Create self-signed certificate:
Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can create and install a self-signed
certificate first.
Click on the <Create> button under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the requested
information (name, country, etc) to install a self-signed certificate for the IP camera. Please
refer to the last pa
rt of this section
<Provide the C
ertificate Information>
for more details.
Note:
The self-signed certificate does not provide the same high level of security as a CA-issued
certificate.
