Using the 802.1X

Authentication Function

— 802.1X Menu

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.

When you click

in the Administrator menu,

the 802.1X menu appears.

Use this menu to configure the wired or wireless port-

based authentication in compliance with the 802.1X

standard.

The 802.1X menu consists of three tabs: Common,

Client certificate and CA certificate.

Authentication server

An authentication server has a database of connecting

users and verifies if the supplicant is a correct user or

not. It is also called RADIUS server.

CA (Certificate Authority)

Note

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.

To use the 802.1X authentication function, you need

knowledge of the 802.1X authentication (WPA and

WPA2) and digital certificate. To establish an 802.1X

network, you need to configure the authenticator, access

point, authentication server and other elements. For

details on these settings, refer to the manual of the

corresponding equipment.

Note

This camera supports only the EAP-TLS mode in which

the supplicant and the server authenticate each other

using the certificate. This mode requires a CA that issues

the certificate.

EAP method

Shows the authentication method used with the

authentication server. It is fixed as this camera supports

only the TLS method.

TLS mode

Select the TLS mode.

The EAP-TLS authentication performs certificate-based

authentication. It requires private key information

consisting of a key pair for the client certificate to store

in the camera. The TLS mode allows two modes

according to the acquirer of the key pair.

OK/Cancel

Use a key pair from a CA: Uses the certificate

including the private key information issued by a

CA. The PKCS#12 and PEM formats are supported.

Use the camera’s built-in key pair: Uses the private

key information that is stored in the tamper-resistant

chip built in the camera. This mode is safety because

the private key information is not carried out at the

time of issuing the certificate request or importing

the certificate. Only the PEM format is supported in

this mode.

To use this mode, first obtain the certificate from the

CA by performing Export certificate request on

page 51.

Client certificate request

Import, display or delete the client certificate.

Export certificate request

Exports the certificate request according to the key pair

built in the camera.

To export, enter the items required for the certificate

request and click Export.

Exporting is possible when TLS mode is set to Use the

camera’s built-in key pair.

Valid means the client certificate is correctly stored

and set.

Invalid means the client certificate is not correctly

stored and set.

Possible causes of Invalid are the following:

– When Use a key pair from a CA is selected and

the private key password included in the client

certificate is not specified correctly

– When Use a key pair from a CA is selected and

the private key password is specified in spite of the

fact that the key pair in the client certificate is not

encrypted.

Note

If you click Export when all the setting items in Export

Setting the Object

Detection Function

— Object detection Menu

When you click

in the Administrator menu,

the Object detection menu appears.

Using this menu, you can set the conditions for

activating the built-in “Moving object detection” and the

“Unattended object detection” functions. Moving object

detection detects moving objects in the camera image

and outputs an alarm. Unattended object detection

detects difference between the previously shot

background image and the image being shot currently

and outputs an alarm when the difference continues

recognized for more than the specified period.

The Object detection menu consists of three tabs:

Common, Unattended object setting and

Configuration.

After the detection time, the car in the

foreground is detected as an

unattended object.

Removed object detection

What is unattended object

detection ?

The camera first stores in memory the background

image for reference. If an object that existed before

moves and disappears, the camera detects the location

where the object existed as an unattended object. If there

are no changes in the unattended object (location) for

more than the specified time, that location is marked

with a green frame and an alarm linked to unattended

object detection is output. You can activate alarm

sending of the FTP client function, alarm recording of

the image memory function and playback of an audio

file in synchronization with the alarm.

The unattended object detection function of this unit

compares the reference background image with the

current image to detect an unattended object. The unit

can perform “Abandoned object detection” of an object

that did not exist and appears now as an unattended

object. The unit can also perform “Removed object

detection” of an object that existed before and now has

disappeared as an unattended object.

Abandoned object detection

Background image

The camera first stores in memory the background

image for reference. If an object that did not exist before

appears on the background and stops, the camera detects

the object as an unattended object. If the unattended

object stays in camera image for more than the specified

time, it is marked with a green frame and an alarm linked

to unattended object detection is output. you can activate
