6.3 SSL Data Encryption
MOBOTIX cameras and the MOBOTIX App make use of the SSL network protocol (Secure Sockets Layer) for
securely transmitting data over the Internet. SSL encryption is strongly recommended for any remote connection
between the App and your video sources. The router’s own encryption (network key) provides sucient data
protection within your local Wi-Fi network without requiring additional SSL encryption.
Note that for SSL encryption to take eect, it needs be set up both in the App (Camera management menu;
see above) and in the camera’s own software. A description of the steps required for the camera software
is provided at the end of Section 4.8.3 of the MxEasy User Manual (Connecting Remote Cameras Using
DynDNS).
Note
MOBOTIX cameras with firmware version 4.1.4.70 or higher are set up to be connectable and accessible in
the App with or without SSL encryption by default. You do not need to change the camera software settings
whenever you enable or disable SSL encryption in the App.
MOBOTIX cameras with older firmware versions can be connected even SSL encryption is enabled on them.
In this case, you need to modify the App settings to match the camera software settings. First enable/
disable SSL encryption in the camera software (for example, via MxEasy) and then in the App (Camera
management menu). If the settings do not match, the camera cannot be viewed in the App.
