Operation Manual

Manual Only: Provides a link-local address for the device, and it requires you to manually configure all other IPv6 address settings for

the camera. Manually specified addresses require a prefix and must be input in the format prefix/IPv6Address. The camera will reject

addresses that do not contain prefix information.

NOTE:

• Cameras do not accept multicast, localhost, or undefined IPv6 addresses.

• Manually specified DNS servers are not validated by the camera and supersede automatically discovered DNS servers; verify your

DNS addresses before saving IPv6 settings.

• Manually specified gateways must be on the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses. Behavior for a gateway that is not on

the same network as the camera’s IPv6 addresses is undefined.

• Some video management systems (VMS), including Pelco systems, do not support connections to cameras and encoders over IPv6.

SNMP

Your camera supports SNMP V2c and V3, and it can be configured to send traps. The MIB file for your camera is available at

www.pelco.com.

NOTE: SNMP V2c and SNMP V3 configuration settings are independent of each other, but only one SNMP mode can be active.

Configuring SSL

The SSL settings page includes SSL configuration modes and certificate generation. The camera can generate a certificate signing

request (CSR) that can be sent to a certificate authority for a signature (for example, VeriSign

), or it can generate a self-signed certifi-

cate using the Generate Self-Signed Certificate option.

SSL is disabled by default. You must enable SSL to access the camera over HTTPS.

1. Select SSL from the Network menu.

2. Select your SSL mode:

• Disabled: Disables HTTPS communications with the device.

• Optional: Requires that you install a signed SSL certificate and enables HTTPS access to the camera; however, the camera

will still be available over HTTP.

• Required: Requires that you install a signed SSL certificate and enables HTTPS access to the camera. When attempting to

access the camera over HTTP, users will be automatically redirected to the HTTPS URL.

NOTE: Beginning with firmware version 1.8.2, the Required option cannot be enabled or disabled through the Web interface. To

enable or disable Required SSL operation, you must use the ONVIF or Pelco APIs. This prevents the camera from entering a state in

which it no longer works with a VMS.

Enabling SSH

Advanced troubleshooting for problems that cannot be addressed through the camera interface can be performed by establishing an SSH

connection into the camera. By default, SSH is off. The user name for SSH connections is root, and cannot be changed.

1. Select SSH from the Network menu.

2. Provide a password for the root user. Passwords are case-sensitive.

3. Confirm your password.

4. Click Save.
