    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 algorithms are AES with 128-bit keys in CBC mode/Diffie-Hellman 3072-bit modp group/PRF-HMAC-SHA-256/HMAC-SHA-384-192.
