5.3.2.2

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.

To create a self-signed certificate

Before a CA-issued certificate is obtained, users can first create and install a self-signed certificate.

Under the Security category, click the HTTPS tab in the sidebar.

1. On the HTTPS page, click CREATE under Create Self-Signed Certificate. The Create Self-

Signed Certificate dialog box opens.

2. Enter the information in the appropriate field. A definition of each of the required fields follows.

Country – Enter a two-letter combination code to indicate the specific country in which the

certificate will be used. For instance, type "US" to indicate United States.

State or province – Enter the local administrative region.
