AUTO], [SHUTTER Pri], or [IRIS Pri]. You cannot
choose a value smaller than the [POINT
POSITION] setting.
GAIN POINT (Exposure - Gain point)
When you set [MIN SPEED] to be slower than the
output image frame rate, the shutter speed
controls exposure based on the [GAIN POINT]
setting. Normally, when exposure is controlled
with gain, noise becomes prominent if gain is
increased to make the image brighter. You can
decrease noise by adjusting the exposure with
lower shutter speeds after canceling gain
adjustments. When you do this, set [GAIN POINT]
to [ON] and set the [POINT POSITION] to the gain
at which you want the shutter speed to change.
When the shutter speed reaches [MIN SPEED] for
exposure adjustment, the gain will increase to
adjust exposure. This setting is available when
[MODE] is either [FULL AUTO] or [IRIS Pri].
AE SPEED (Exposure - AE speed)
Select the adjustment speed for exposure
adjustment.
You can adjust the speed at which the camera
reaches the optimum exposure setting from [1]
(standard) to [48] (slow). Adjust this when the
brightness of the object changes
instantaneously.
This setting is available when [MODE] is [FULL
AUTO], [SHUTTER Pri], or [IRIS Pri].
EX-COMP (Exposure - Exposure
compensation)
Turn this [ON] when you want to correct
brightness of a picture whose exposure is
already automatically adjusted. This setting is
available when [MODE] is [FULL AUTO], [SHUTTER
Pri], or [IRIS Pri]. The [LEVEL] setting is displayed
when this is turned [ON].
LEVEL (Exposure - Exposure

Set a level to adjust the brightness of a picture
whose exposure is already automatically
adjusted. Choose a value from [–7] to [+7] for the
level.
This is not displayed when [EX-COMP] is turned
[OFF].
POINT POSITION (Exposure - Gain point
level)
This is enabled when [GAIN POINT] is turned
[ON]. When gain during exposure adjustment
reaches the value for [POINT POSITION],
exposure is adjusted through a slower shutter
speed. This setting is available when [MODE] is
either [FULL AUTO] or [IRIS Pri]. You cannot
choose a value smaller than the [GAIN] setting.
MAX SPEED (Exposure - Fastest)
Set the maximum (fastest) shutter speed when
exposure is automatically adjusted with the

• Reload the window when you change the SSL
setting. Press the F5 key on the keyboard to
reload.
SSL
Function
Select [Enable] to use the SSL function.
When [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some
clients)] is selected, both HTTP and SSL connections
are allowed. When [Enable] is selected, only SSL
connection is allowed.
When Internet Explorer is used
When SSL session is established, appears in the
right of the address bar on your web browser.
When you use SSL connection for the first time
When you use SSL connection only by setting the
SSL function to [Enable], you cannot access the
camera if the SSL function does not work properly.
In this case, you must reset the camera to the factory
settings. (All settings will be initialized.)
To avoid this, check that SSL connection is possible
by performing the following steps.
1 Set the SSL function to [Enable (Allow
HTTP connection for some clients)].
Note
You can access the camera even from a computer
with an IP address whose access right is set to
[Deny], if you enter the user name and password set
for the Administrator in the User tab of the Security
menu in the authentication screen.
SSL tab (BRC-X400, SRG-X400/
X120)
Configure the SSL or TLS function (called “SSL”
hereafter). The settings allow the camera to
communicate with the client PC by using SSL.
2 Click [OK] to close the viewer and the
setting window.
3 Display the viewer in SSL connection.
For details, see “When the SSL Function
is Used” (page 55).
4 After confirming that SSL connection is
possible, set the SSL function to
[Enable].
Even if the setting window or the web browser is
closed as SSL connection is impossible, HTTP
connection will be possible if [Enable (Allow HTTP
connection for some clients)] is selected. First check
the setting contents of SSL tab in HTTP connection,
then check the SSL connection again.

the setting window from the web browser. In this
case, reload the window. Press the F5 key on the
keyboard to reload.
SSL server authentication
Certificate options
Select an installation mode of the certificate.
[Use an external certificate]: Uses the certificate
including private key information issued by a
CA. The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are
supported.
Note
SSL is not available when [Certificate options]-[Use
an external certificate] is selected, or certificate and
private key password is not set properly even SSL is
set to [Enable].
[Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)]: This
mode uses the certificate and private key pair
generated by “Self-signed certificate
generation” (page 77). Private key
information corresponding to the certificate
is stored in the camera.
You do not need to install an external
certificate. However, you cannot execute the
existence proof that is one of the SSL
functions for the following reasons.
– The private key generated in the camera is
self-signed by the camera.
– A prepared value is set for a distinguished
name (Common name, etc).
– The certificate is not issued by a trusted CA.
For reasons of security, we recommend using
this mode only when there is no problem
even if perfect security is not ensured, such
as for operation test.
Notes
• When [Use a self-signed certificate (For
test use)] is selected, the [Security Alert]
dialog appears on the SSL connection with
a web browser.
For details, see “When the SSL Function is
Used” (page 55).
• SSL connection may be impossible due to
the type of certificate installed in the
camera. In this case, refer to “To import the
CA certificate” on page 80 and install.
To import the certificate
Click [Choose File] to select the certificate to be
imported. Follow the on-screen instructions to
import the certificate to the camera.

certificate (For test use)] is selected from [Certificate
options].
Click [Generate] to generate a self-signed certificate
in the camera. Clicking [Generate] again after
[Generate] has been clicked once will update the
self-signed certificate stored in the camera.
Note
Make sure to set the date and time on the camera
correctly before performing this operation. If the
date and time are not correctly set, it may cause web
browser connection problems. Before selecting
[Generate] in [Self-signed certificate generation],
click [OK] to select [Use a self-signed certificate (For
test use)] in [Certificate options].
To display certificate information
When the certificate has been set in the camera
correctly, its information appears on [Status], [Issuer
DN], [Subject DN], [Available period] and [Extended
key usage].
Status
Shows if the status of the certificate is valid or
invalid. The following statuses are recognized.
[Valid]: The certificate is correctly stored and set.
[Invalid]: The certificate is not correctly stored and
set.
Possible causes are as follows:
– [Use an external certificate] is selected and
the private key password included in the
certificate is not specified correctly.
– [Use an external certificate] is selected and
the private key password is specified in
spite of the fact that the key pair in the
certificate is not encrypted.
– [Use an external certificate] is selected and
the key pair is not included in the
certificate.
– [Use a self-signed certificate (For test use)]
is selected without the self-signed
certificate being generated.
Note
When the certificate to be imported is of PKCS#12
format and the private key password is not set
correctly, “<Put correct private key password>” is

setting the date and time of the camera. If the
date and time are incorrect, port
authentication may not be performed correctly.
System configuration of the 802.1X
network
The following figure shows a general system
configuration of an 802.1X network.
Supplicant
A supplicant is a device that connects to the
authentication server to join the network. This
camera serves as a supplicant in the 802.1X
network. The supplicant can enter the 802.1X
network after appropriate authentication by the
authentication server.
802.1X tab
Configure the wired port-based authentication in
compliance with the 802.1X standard.
Notes
• To use the 802.1X authentication function, you
need knowledge of the 802.1X authentication
and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X
network, you need to configure the
authenticator, authentication server and other
elements. For details on these settings, refer to
the manual of the corresponding equipment.
Authenticator
An authenticator forwards certificate request
data or response data that the supplicant or
authentication server issues to the other party.
Normally a hub, router or access point serves as
an authenticator.
Authentication server
An authentication server has a database of
connecting users and verifies if the supplicant is
a valid user or not. It can also be called RADIUS
server.
CA (Certificate Authority)
A CA issues and manages certificates of the
authentication server (CA certificates) and user
certificates. The CA is essential for certificatebased user authentication. Normally a CA is
located inside an authentication server.
Note
This camera supports EAP mode in which the
supplicant and the server authenticate using the
certificate. This mode requires a CA which issues
the certificate.

and set. Possible causes are as follows:
– The private key password included in the
client certificate is not specified correctly.
– The private key password is specified in
spite of the fact that the key pair in the
client certificate is not encrypted.
– The key pair is not included in the client
certificate.
Note
When the client certificate to be imported is of
PKCS#12 format and the private key password is not
set correctly, “<Put correct private key password>” is
displayed in the boxes of [Issuer DN], [Subject DN],
[Available period] and [Extended key usage]. Specify
the correct private key password to confirm the
information of the certificate.
EAP method
You can select the authentication method used with
the authentication server. This camera supports TLS
and PEAP.
[TLS]: By this method, the supplicant and the server
authenticate each other using a certificate.
This enables secure port authentication.
[PEAP]: By this method, an EAP password is used for
the supplicant authentication and a
certificate is used for server authentication.
Client certificate
When TLS is selected as the EAP method, the
client certificate is imported, displayed or
deleted for the camera authentication.
To import the client certificate
