Streaming Authentication Setting
From the drop-down list, select one of the following options:
Disable – Do not use streaming authentication (default setting).
Basic – A form of authentication that uses unencrypted base64 encoding. Basic Authentication
should generally only be used where transport layer security, such as HTTPS, is provided.
Digest – A form of authentication used over RTSP in which credentials are encrypted when
transmitted.
Click SAVE.
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.
