2. HTTPS
<HTTPS> allows secure connections between the IP Camera and web browser using
<Secure Socket Layer (SSL)> or <Transport Layer Security (TLS)>, which ensure
camera settings or Username / Password info from snooping. It is required to install a
self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate for implementing <HTTPS>.
To use HTTPS on the IP Camera, 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 <Create> button under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the
requested information to install a self-signed certificate for the IP Camera. Please refer
to the last part of this section:
NOTE: The self-signed certificate does not provide the same high level of security as
when using a CA-issued certificate.
-Install Signed Certificate
Click on the <Create Certificate Request> button to create and submit a certificate
request in order to obtain a signed certificate from CA.
Provide the request information in the create dialog. Please refer to the following
Provide the Certificate Information
for more details.
When the request is complete, the subject of the Created Request will be shown in the
field. Click on <Properties> below the Subject field, copy the PEM-formatted request
and send it to the selected CA.
When the signed certificate is returned, install it by uploading the signed certificate.
