(6) [Display Server Certificate Details] 
Click [Exec] to view the details of the server 
certificate. 
(7) [Display Self CA Certificate] 
Used for the purpose of testing SSL communications, 
but otherwise not normally used. 
(8) [Backup] 
Click [Exec] to perform a backup of the certificates 
and private key. This operation can only be performed 
when [HTTPS Connection Policy] is set to use [HTTPS] 
or [HTTP and HTTPS], and SSL communications are in 
use.
(9) [Restore] 
Installs the certificates and private key from 
backup. Click [Browse] to select the backup file, 
then click  [Exec]. This operation can only be 
performed when [HTTPS Connection Policy] is set to 
use [HTTPS] or [HTTP and HTTPS], and SSL 
communications are in use. The restored certificate 
will take effect after rebooting.
Encrypted Communications
(1) [HTTPS Connection Policy] 
Select whether or not to use SSL communications with 
HTTPS connections.
To not use SSL communications, select [HTTP].
To use SSL communications, select [HTTPS] or [HTTP 
and HTTPS]. SSL connections will be possible after 
rebooting. 
When [HTTPS] is selected, even HTTP connections 
will be redirected to HTTPS and SSL communications 
will be used.
Note
 It may take a few minutes to generate an SSL key. 
 Depending on the type of the certificate being installed on the 
camera, a dialog box may appear indicating that the web 
browser has accepted the certificate and a connection can be 
made.
If the dialog box does not appear, register the CA certificate in 
the web browser.
Important
 Even if SSL communications are set here to be used, they will 
not be used if the certificate is not installed.
 Video transmission performance will drop, if SSL 
communications are used. When [HTTPS] is selected, 
communication with RM is not possible.

(5) [Delete Certificate]
Deletes all installed CA certificates, client certificates, 
and client private keys. Only “CA Certificate” is 
displayed when [Authentication Method] is set to

be installed is incorrect.
 Client certificates and client private keys are checked as a 
pair when installing, and an error occurs if they do not match.
 The certificate and private key used for 802.1X authentication 
must be installed as separate items, irrespective of the 
installation status of certificates for SSL/TLS.

Memory Card Operations (unmount status) 
(1) [Mount/Unmount] 
In unmount status, [Mount] will appear. Click [Mount] 
to mount the MEMORY card. 
Note
SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards can be used with the 
camera.
When an MEMORY card is inserted in the card slot, it is mounted 
automatically. It is also mounted automatically if inserted in the 
camera at the time of booting. 
For inserting and removing the MEMORY card, see “Installation 
Guide” > “Using an Memory Card”. 
(2) [Operation Settings] 
Set write operations to the MEMORY card to [Save 
Log] or [Save Logs and Videos].
Note
 The following settings and operations will record video on an 
memory card.
- When a network error occurs during recording-mode stream
- When uploading fails
- When [Video Record Action] in the [Event] menu (p. 71) is 
set to [Record to Memory Card], and an event (volume 
detection, external device input or timer) setting is enabled 
and [Enable] is selected for [Video Record]
- When video is recorded due to an intelligent function event 
occurrence (p. 113)
- When manually recorded to memory card from the Admin 
Viewer (p. 159)
 New files cannot be saved to the memory card if there is no free 
space.
(3) [Video Format]
Select the [JPEG] or [H.264(1)] video format to make 
recordings to a memory card. 
Video is recorded with 
the settings defined under [Video] > [H.264(1)] (p. 62). 
[H.264(2)] cannot be used. Video is recorded in this 
format when [Record to Memory Card] is selected in 
[Event] > [Video Record Action] (p. 71).
Note
 When [JPEG] is selected in [Video Format] and an upload error 
occurs, the frame rate of video recorded in JPEG format is 
always 1 fps.
 When a network error occurs during recording-mode stream, 
video is saved in the JPEG format regardless of the [Video 
Format] setting (the frame rate is fixed at 1 fps).
 Video size and quality of the recorded video are made 
according to the settings in the [Video] menu.
(4) [Pre-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Pre-event 
Buffer (sec)]
Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be 
buffered before the event. The maximum amount is 
number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number 
of seconds for an [H.264(1)] selection in [Video 
Format].
(5) [Post-event Buffer (number of frames)] / [Post-event 
Buffer (sec)]
Enter the number of frames or seconds of video to be 
buffered after the event. The maximum amount is 
number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number 
of seconds for an [H.264(1)] selection in [Video 
Format].
(6) [Overwrite videos]
Select [Enable] or [Disable] for the overwrite setting of 
video that is recorded to an memory card when an 
event occurs. If you select [Enable], videos recorded 
using an event and timer will be overwritten. 
Overwriting is performed when the number of videos 
that can be stored (100,000 files) for each of events 
and timers is exceeded. Overwriting is not performed 
when there is insufficient space on the memory card.
(7) [Format] 
Click [Exec] to format the memory card. Formatting 
erases all files and directories on the memory card.
[Memory Card] Memory Card Operations and Settings 
The following can be set here. 
 Memory Card Operations
Perform MEMORY card operations.
 Memory Card Information
Display information about the MEMORY card. 
Important
 When an H.264 video is saved to an memory card, the 
following restrictions apply to [H.264(1)] of [Video] (p. 62).
- Only [Use bit rate control] can be selected for [Bit Rate 
Control].
- Only [3072] or less can be selected for [Target Bit Rate 
(kbps)].
- Only one of [0.5], [1], and [1.5] can be selected for [I 
Frame Interval (sec)].
 Since the [Pre-event Buffer] and [Post-event Buffer] set the 
maximum value, it may not be possible to record the 
specified number of frames or seconds of video depending 
on conditions.

video transmission and upload processes.
(4) [Recreate Video Management Information] 
Click [Exec] to recreate the video management 
information. 
During re-creation, an indicator will appear to the right 
of [Exec]. The memory card is inaccessible during this

Note
 It may take 90 minutes or more to recreate video management 
information.
 Recreating video management information takes time, so it is 
recommended that you stop video transmission and upload 
processes.
Memory Card Information
(1) [Memory Card Recognition] 
Displays the status of the memory card. The three 
status messages are [Memory Card Not Inserted], 
[Not Mounted] and [Mounted].
(2) [Memory Card Operation Status] 
Displays the operation status of the memory card. The 
three status messages are as follows. 
 [Operable]: This status indicates that any operation 
may be performed. 
 [Recreating video management information]: This 
status indicates that video management information 
is being recreated. Other operations cannot be 
performed. 
 [Deleting videos]: This status indicates that videos 
are being deleted. Other operations cannot be 
performed. 
(3) [Video Management Information Status] 
Displays the status of the video management 
information. The two status messages are as follows. 
 [Normal]: This status indicates that video 
management information is normal. 
 [Video Management Information Recreation 
Required]: This status indicates that management 
files are corrupted or not consistent with saved 
video files. It is necessary to click [Exec] in 
[Recreate Video Management Information] to 
recreate video management information.
If the management files are not recreated even 
when [Recreate Video Management Information] is 
used, [Format] (p. 84) must be used.
(4) [Video Saving] 
Displays whether or not videos can be saved to the 
memory card. 
 [Can Save]: Indicates that videos can be saved to 
the memory card.
 [Cannot Save]: Indicates that videos cannot be 
saved to the memory card. This status may be 
caused when the memory card is not mounted, the 
video file count upper limit has been reached, the 
video management file is corrupted or the card is 
write-protected. 
(5) [Memory Card Capacity (KB)] 
Displays the memory card storage capacity. 
(6) [Used Capacity (KB)] 
Displays information about storage used on the 
memory card.
Important
Be sure to perform the unmount process when turning off the 
power to the camera or removing the memory card. Failing to 
unmount first may result in management file problems or the 
memory card becoming inaccessible. 
You can use the Camera Management Tool (p. 28) to mount/
unmount memory cards from multiple cameras at the same 
time.
