9.3.2.2 HTTPS
To use HTTPS on the camera, an HTTPS certificate must be installed. The HTTPS certificate can be
obtained either by creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate Authority (CA) or by creating a
self-signed HTTPS certificate as described below.
Note:
The self-signed certificate does not provide the same level of security as a CA-issued certificate.
HTTPS allows secure connections between the camera and web browser using Secure Socket Layer (SSL)
or Transport Layer Security (TLS) to protect camera settings and username/password info. A self-signed
certificate or a CA-signed certificate is required to implement HTTPS.
