7.3.2.2 HTTPS

<HTTPS> allows secure connections between the IP Camera and web browser using <Secure Socket Layer (SSL)> or <Transport Layer Security (TLS)>, which ensure camera settings or Username/ Password info from snooping. It is required to install a self-signed certificate or a CA-signed certificate for implementing <HTTPS>.

Click the <HTTPS> tab, and the HTTPS setting page is shown as the figure below.

To use HTTPS on the IP Camera, a HTTPS certificate must be installed. The HTTPS certificate can be obtained by either creating and sending a certificate request to a Certificate Authority (CA) or creating a self-signed HTTPS certificate, as described below.

Create Self-signed Certificate

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

Click <Create> button under “Create self-signed certificate” and provide the requested information to install a self-signed certificate for the IP Camera. Please refer to the last part of this section: Provide the Certificate Information for more details.

NOTE: The self-signed certificate does not provide the same high level

of security as when using a CA-issued certificate.

Create Certificate Request

Click the “Create Certificate Request” button to create and submit a certificate request in order to obtain a signed certificate from CA.

Provide the request information in the create dialog. Please refer to the following Provide the Certificate Information for more details.

When the request is complete, the subject of the Created Request will be shown in the field. Click “Properties” below the Subject field, copy the PEM-formatted request and send it to your selected CA.

When the signed certificate is returned, install it by uploading the signed certificate.

Provide the Certificate Information

To create a Self-signed HTTPS Certificate or a Certificate Request to CA, please enter the information as requested:

 Country

Enter a 2-letter combination code to indicate the country the certificate will be used in. For instance, type in “US” to indicate United States.

 State or province

Enter the local administrative region.

 Locality

Enter other geographical information.

 Organization

Enter the name of the organization to which the entity identified in “Common Name” belongs.

 Organization Unit

Enter the name of the organizational unit to which the entity identified in “Common Name” belongs.

 Common Name

Indicate the name of the person or other entity that the certificate identifies (often used to identify the website).

 Valid days (Self-signed Certificate Only)

Enter the period in days (1~9999) to indicate the valid period of certificate.

Click “OK” to save the Certificate Information after complete.

7.3.2.3 IP Filter

7.3.3 Network

Click the category: < Network>, there will be a drop-down menu with tabs including <Basic>, <QoS>, <SNMP>, and <UPnP>.

7.3.3.1 Basic

Users can choose to connect to the IP Camera with fixed or dynamic (DHCP) IP address. The IP Camera also provides PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) support for users who connect to the network via PPPoE.

Get IP address automatically (DHCP)

The camera’s default setting is “Use fixed IP address”. Please refer to the

previous section 6. Accessing Camera

for login with the default IP address.

If select “Get IP address automatically”, after the IP Camera restarts, users

can search it through the installer program: DeviceSearch.exe, which can be found in “DeviceSearch” folder in the supplied CD.

NOTE: Please make the record of the IP Camera’s MAC address, which

can be found in the label of the camera, for identification in the future.

Use fixed IP address

To setup static IP address, select “Use fixed IP address” and move the cursor

to the IP address blank (as indicated below) and insert the new IP address, ex.

192.168.7.123; then go to the Default gateway (explained latter) blank and change the setting, ex. 192.168.7.254. Press “Save” to confirm the new setting.

When using static IP address to login to the IP Camera, users can access it either through “IPScanUtility” software (refer to 6. Accessing Camera) or input the IP address in the URL bar and press “Enter”.

 IP address

This is necessary for network identification.

 Subnet mask

It is used to determine if the destination is in the same subnet. The default value is “255.255.255.0”.

 Default gateway

This is the gateway used to forward frames to destinations in different subnet. Invalid gateway setting will fail the transmission to destinations in different subnet.

 Primary DNS

Primary DNS is the primary domain name server that translates hostnames into IP addresses.

 Secondary DNS

Secondary DNS is a secondary domain name server that backups the primary DNS.

Use PPPoE

For the PPPoE users, enter the PPPoE Username and Password into the fields, and click on the “Save” button to complete the setting.

Advanced

 Web Server port

The default web server port is 80. Once the port is changed, the user must be notified the change for the connection to be successful. For instance, when the Administrator changes the HTTP port of the IP Camera whose IP address is 192.168.1.2 from 80 to 8080, the user must type in the web browser “http://192.168.1.2:8080” instead of “http://192.168.1.2”.

 RTSP port

The default setting of RTSP Port is 554; the setting range is from 1024 to 65535.

 MJPEG over HTTP port

The default setting of MJPEG over HTTP Port is 8008; the setting range is from 1024 to 65535.

 HTTPS port

The default setting of HTTPS Port is 443; the setting range is from 1024 to 65535.

NOTE: Be aware to assign a different port number for each separate

service mentioned above.

IPv6 Address Configuration

With IPv6 support, users can use the corresponding IPv6 address for browsing. Enable IPv6 by checking the box and click “Save” to complete the setting.

7.3.3.2 QoS (Quality of Service)

QoS allows providing differentiated service levels for different types of traffic packets, which guarantees delivery of priority services especially when network congestion occurs. Adapting the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model, traffic flows are classified and marked with DSCP (DiffServ Codepoint) values, and thus receive the corresponding forwarding treatment from DiffServ capable routers.

DSCP Settings

The DSCP value range is from 0 to 63. The default DSCP value is 0, which means DSCP disabled.

The IP Camera uses the following QoS Classes: Video, Audio and Management.

 Video

The class consists of applications such as MJPEG over HTTP, RTP/RTSP and RTSP/HTTP.

 Audio

This setting is only available for the IP Cameras that support audio.

 Management

The class consists of HTTP traffic: Web browsing.

Click the “Save” button when complete.

NOTE: To enable this function, please make sure the switches/routers

in the network support QoS.
