For maximum security, it is recommended that you connect Security Center to cameras using HTTPS.
Before you begin
Security Center can automatically deploy signed
certificates on supported cameras and renew them when they are about to expire. This allows
the system to use of HTTPS to communicate with cameras. We recommend using this feature if
your video units are supported.
For more information, see Unit certificate management.If
your cameras do not support the Security Center unit
certificate management feature, configure the camera certificates manually before enabling
HTTPS communication using the following procedure.
What you should know
The Archiver supports HTTPS connections with compatible cameras.
A certificate
trusted by the Archiver must be installed on the cameras.
