This setting is available when [MODE] is [FULL
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

correctly set, it may cause web browser
connection problems.
• 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.
1Set the SSL function to [Enable (Allow
HTTP connection for some clients)].
2Click [OK] to close the viewer and the
setting window.
3Display the viewer in SSL connection.
For details, see “When the SSL Function
is Used” (page 55).
4After 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.
If [Enable (Allow HTTP connection for some clients)]
is not selected, you will not be able to access the
camera when SSL connection becomes impossible.
In this case, press the reset switch on the camera for
5 seconds or longer to return to the factory default
settings. For details, see page 9.

therefore, not all images may be downloaded, and
the mark may appear when the camera accesses
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

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.

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.
• When using the 802.1X authentication
function, always configure the settings after
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.
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 certificate-
based 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.
