The software cannot use the self-signed certificate provided by the camera to validate the authenticity of the device. If you are confident that the camera is secure, accept the self-signed certificate in the browser. If not, implement signed certificates. Refer to the Niagara Station Security Guide.
Configure the Web Auth Scheme property for Browser or Token Or Browser on the Axis camera’s Property Sheet.
Using
Require Https for Passwords property is set to false.
There are several reasons why a station does not connect. Many issues can be fixed on the camera’s Property Sheet. But before you use
Username and Password, requires firmware version 7.10 or higher.If the camera is on your local area network, make sure that you correctly defined these properties on the camera’s Property Sheet.
Url Address (the IP address of the camera)Ptz Support (EnableAll)Credentials (Username and Password for the camera): To connect using a browser, you must know the camera’s credentials. Due to the limitations
in the Axis client software, this is the only way to connect to an Axis camera with a firmware version of 6.x or lower.If you are attempting to connect to the camera over the Internet using a browser, a couple of other properties must be correctly configured:
Host Name (the address of the camera with additional information): Browsers require a value for this property.Web Auth Scheme (selects the type of authentication when using a browser to connect to a station):Token or Browser attempts a token connection, and if it fails due to firmware limitations or bad credentials, opens the Browser login window
where you can enter the camera’s credentials.
Token requires a firmware version of 7.x or higher to use the credentials stored in the station to connect to the camera.
Browser requires the camera’s credentials.
In addition, to secure communication between the remote camera and the local station, you need to import a server certificate to the camera that was signed by the private key of a root CA certificate in the browser’s trust store. Refer to the Niagara Station Security Guide for information about how to create a server certificate, get it signed by a Certificate Authority or serve as your own CA.
Port 5353 must be open in your Windows Defender Firewall for camera discovery to be successful. To open a port, access the
Windows Defender Firewall in the Windows Control panel, select Advanced settings and create a pair of inbound and outbound
rules for TCP and another pair (inbound and outbound) for UDP. Configure each rule to Allow the Connection.
Depending on the configuration of your camera, these ports must be open in your Windows Defender Firewall: 80 for regular
video setup and streaming (http://), 443 for secure video setup and streaming (https://) and 554 for RTSP video streaming.
To open one of these ports, access the Windows Defender Firewall in the Windows Control panel, select Advanced settings and create a pair of inbound and outbound rules for TCP and another pair (inbound and outbound) for UDP. Configure each rule
to Allow the Connection.
Port 9000 must be open in your Windows Defender Firewall for data transmission from the camera.
Port 9797 must be open in your Windows Defender Firewall for event transmission from the camera.
To open one or both of these ports, access the Windows Defender Firewall in the Windows Control panel, select Advanced settings and create a pair of inbound and outbound rules for TCP and another pair (inbound and outbound) for UDP. Configure each rule
to Allow the Connection. Do this for each port.
