view.

access the camera view. 
z
 
Off: Authentication is not required to access the camera. Click Off and select one (among 
AdminOperator and Viewer) from the pull-down list as default, then all users can view 
directly the video with the default permission without entering username and password. 
* If you want to have a higher authority than the default, you can key in appropriate username and 
password in the dialog box that pops up when performing advanced operations that are only 
allowed by the higher authority.
 
6.4.2  HTTPS 
HTTPS is a URL scheme used to indicate a secure HTTP connection. It is syntactically identical to the 
http:// scheme normally used for accessing resources using HTTP. Using https: //URL/ with a different 
default TCP port (443) and an additional encryption / authentication layer between the HTTP and TCP, 
you can use the IP camera through HTTPS easily by using “https://” instead of “http://”. 
 
¾
  Create & Install: Create a self-signed certificate for HTTPS to recognize. 
¾
  Installed Certificate: Display or remove the properties of the installed certificate. 
¾
  HTTPS Connection Policy: Set HTTPS connection policy for different level of users. 
To use the HTTPS encryption, please set up “Create self-signed certificate” for the first time you use the 
HTTPS function, and then set up the connection policy for different users.
