The default certificate is not adequate to satisfy
PCI (credit card processing compliance).
Is there a way to replace the default MD5 class certificate
with our own?

We run dvr 8.3. If we need to upgrade in order to allow
us to set up our own ssl certificate, what verion allows this?

Malcolm,

Sorry that this post was not replied to sooner. Yes, you can configure the Geovision webcam server to run https / SSL for secure remote connections by following these instructions:

• From the main Geovision console, click on the network button and select Webcam Server
• On the server setup screen, click on the Server tab
• Check the Enable SSL checkbox
• Use port 443 to access the webscam server through itnernet Explorer
• To access remotely over the Internet, be sure to setup port forwarding on your reouter for port 443

If you have not already configured your webcam server, you can find those instructions here: Geovision webcam server setup.

We hope that this helps.

Can I make my GV800 use https rather than http for remote viewing? This is required by a third party that I am associated with.

The following chat transcript was taken recently while we helped a customer with Geovision webcam server problems.

Customer: I cant connect to the Geovision webcam server on my computer for some reason, but i noticed that all my other laptops that have windows xp installed work fine is there a reason? what do i have to do?

Geovision Support: Hello. Try disabling your firewall and make sure that Internet Explorer is set to enable or prompt for all active X settings.

Customer: I already did do that on all other computers, but this computer is set up with windows vista. i did the active x thing already.

Geovision Support: did you disable the firewall?

Geovision Support: are you running Geovision 8.12?

Customer: no i did not disable the firewall how?

Geovision Support: Go into the windows control panel and select classic view on the left, then select windows firewall

Customer: it is disabled, it says your computer is not protected.

Geovision Support: are you running version 8.12 of Geovision?

Customer: how do I know? I have a 16 camera system.

Geovision Support: one sec. let me see...

Customer: it lets me highlight mpeg4 encoder viewer then i click select, next page is the problem i cant select dsl it does not highlight and i cant select multiview.

Geovision Support: in your Geovision system click on the system button (the one with a hammer and screw driver), then select version information.

Customer: right know I am at a remote location but give me info and I will change the system right.

Geovision Support: if you are not on version 8.12, vista will not work and you need to upgrade. You can get instructions on upgrading here: http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/Geovision-Software-s/115.htm

Geovision Support: please let us know if you need anything else.

Customer: thank you

Geovision Support: Your Welcome.
