Security Settings; Compression And Image Rate - Avigilon H6A Series User Manual

Security Settings

For greater network communication security, you can enable compliance with the Federal Information
Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 Level 1 or Level 3 Security Requirements for Cryptographic Modules for
server and camera communication.
Note:
FIPS 140-2 Level 1 requires the purchase of a FIPS camera license.
l
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 on cameras with an onboard TPM requires the purchase of a FIPS camera
l
license.
FIPS 140-2 Level 3 on cameras without an onboard TPM requires the purchase of a CRYPTR
l
micro card. The CRYPTR card must be inserted into the camera's SD card slot before it can be
enabled.
1. Go to the Security Settings page.
2. In the Encryption Engine drop-down list, select the type of encryption to use:
OpenSSL is the default option for encryption.
l
FIPS 140-2 enables FIPS 140-2 level 1 encryption.
l
NXP TPM enables the onboard trusted platform module (TPM) to securely store your
l
encryption keys. Only cameras that come with the onboard NXP TPM will display this option.
3. Click Apply to save your settings.
Important: Changing this setting on your camera will require your camera to reboot and you
will lose the video stream for that time. Avigilon recommends that you apply this setting
during non-critical operating times.

Compression and Image Rate

On the Compression and Image Rate page, you can change the camera's compression and image quality
settings for sending video over the network. You can change the camera's compression and image quality
settings separately for primary, secondary, and tertiary streams.
Note: If a camera with video analytics or unusual motion detection is physically moved or adjusted,
or if the focus or zoom level is changed, reset the learning progress to provide accurate results. If the
camera's image rate and compression or display settings are updated, the learning progress may
reset automatically.
