Note

  • Use at least eight and no more than 20 alphanumeric characters or symbols for [Shared Key].
  • For IPsec communications, the device to connect must be compatible with IPsec.
    Depending on the device, communications may not be possible or the communication speed may be slow.
  • On this camera, IPsec operates in transport mode only and uses IKEv2.
    The algorithm is AES with 128-bit keys in CBC mode/Diffie-Hellman 3072-bit modp group/PRF-HMAC-SHA-256/HMAC-SHA-384-192.
    The authentication expires after 24 hours.
  • Encrypted communications can only be made with devices that are configured correctly. Communications with other devices are not encrypted.
  • For details on the IPsec configuration, consult the administrator of the network for your device.
