Setting Up SSL Encryption
SSL encryption means that data sent from and to the cameras are 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 Cameras| Edit Cameras menu.
Or: Open the Camera List via the Cameras| Show Cameras menu. Open the shortcut
menu for the desired camera. Click on Edit. The “Properties“ window opens.
2. Activate the checkbox Use secure connections (SSL) in the “Access data“ tab.
3. Click on Apply or on OK to complete the changes on the camera.
4. Reboot your camera when you are prompted to do so.
The camera can now 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:
