Referrals

To prevent unauthorized clients from including the video stream from the camera into external Web pages, check the Referrals checkbox and enter the IP address or host name of the computer that hosts the web pages with the included video stream. Several IP addresses/host names can be defined and are separated by semicolons (;)

Notes: •If the referrals feature is enabled and you wish to also allow normal access to the Live View page, the product's own IP address or host name must be added to the list of allowed referrers.

•Restricting referrers has no effect on an MPEG-4 video stream. To restrict an MPEG-4 stream, IP address filtering must be enabled.

•Restricting referrers is of greatest value when not using IP address filtering. If IP address filter- ing is used, then the allowed referrers are automatically restricted to those allowed IP addresses.

HTTPS

The AXIS 225FD supports encrypted browsing using HTTPS.

A self-signed certificate can be used until a Certificate Authority-issued certificate has been obtained. Click the Create self-signed Certificate button to install a self-signed certificate. Although self-signed certificates are free and offer some protection, true security will only be implemented after the installation of a signed certificate issued by a certificate authority.

A signed certificate can be obtained from an issuing Certificate Authority by clicking the Create Certificate Request button. When the signed certificate is returned, click the Install signed certificate button to import the certificate. The properties of any certificate request currently resident in the camera or installed can also be viewed by clicking the Properties... button. The HTTPS Connection Policy must also be set in the drop-down lists to enable HTTPS in the camera.
