AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - System Options

Note that users from IP addresses that will be allowed must also be registered with the

appropriate access rights (User, Operator or Administrator). This is done from Setup >

System Options > Security > Users.

Referrals - to pr

event unauthorized sources from including the video stream from the

AXIS 282/AXIS 282A into external Web pages, check the Referrals box and enter the IP

address or Host name of the computer that hosts the Web pages with the included video

stream. Multiple IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons(;)

Notes:

• If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live

View page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed

referrers.

• Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4

stream, IP address filtering must be enabled.

• Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not

using IP address filtering. If IP

address filtering is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those

allowed IP addresses.

HTTPS

For greater security, the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A can be configured to use HTTPS (Hypertext

Transfer Protocol over SSL (Secure Socket Layer)). That is, all communication that would

otherwise go via HTTP will instead go via an encrypted HTTPS connection.

Certificate - to use HTTPS for communication with

the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A, a Certificate

must be created using one of these methods:

• A self-signed certificate can be created

in the Video Server, but this does not guarantee

the same level of security as an official certificate.

• An official certificate issued by a CA (Certificat

e Authority). A CA issues and manages

security credentials and public keys for message encryption.

1. Click either Crea

te self-signed certificate or Create Certificate Request and enter

the required information in the provided fields

2. Click OK.

3. Create self-signed certificate generates and installs a certificate which will be

displayed under Installed Certificate.

Create Certificate Request generates a PEM formatted request which you copy

and send to a CA for signing. When the signed certificate is returned, click Install

signed certificate... to install the certificate in the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A.

4. Set the HTTPS Connection Policy for the administrator, Operator and Viewer to

enable HTTPS connection (set to HTTP by default)

Please refer to the home page of your preferre

d CA for information on where to send the

request. For more information, please see the online help
