Default: Off
[Stream(1)], [Stream(2)], [Stream(3)], [Stream(4)], [JPEG(1)], [JPEG(2)]
Select “On” or “Off” independently for Stream(1), Stream(2), Stream(3), Stream(4), JPEG(1) and JPEG(2) to determine whether or not to activate data encryption.
Default: Off
[Encryption password], [Retype encryption password]

Available number of characters: 4 - 16 characters
Unavailable characters: " &
IMPORTANT
The initial password is displayed in “MAC address” on the [Upgrade] screen of the [Maintenance] tab. When using data encryption, make sure to change the password.
When “On” is selected for data encryption, it is recommended to set the total bit rate of the stream becomes 16 Mbps or less.
When “On” is selected for JPEG data encryption, the snap shot button on the “Live” page will be hidden.
When “On” is selected for JPEG data encryption, images cannot be monitored using a cellular phone/mobile terminal. Additionally, the [Refresh interval] pull-down on the “Live” page is not displayed for JPEG with data encryption set to “On”.
The encrypted MP4 files and JPEG images cannot be viewed on the image playing screen in the browser. Download it to a PC and use the decryption tool to confirm it.
For information about the decryption tool, refer to the “readme.txt” file in the supplied CD-ROM or our website (https://security.panasonic.com/support/info/ <Control No.: C0310>).
When “On” is selected for JPEG data encryption, “Refresh interval: 1s” to “Refresh interval: 60s” in the [Refresh interval] pull-down menu on the multi-screen become unselectable.
When “On” is selected for data encryption, “16 Screens” in the “Layout” pull-down menu on the multi-screen becomes unselectable.
Note
In order to view streams with data encryption set to “On”, you must install the viewer software.
If you confirm streams with data encryption set to “On” on the “Live” page, password entry for decryption is displayed. If you correctly enter the “Encryption password” that was set, you will be able to view images. When “Mic input”, “Interactive(Full-duplex)”, or “Interactive(Full-duplex)” is selected for [Audio transmission mode], only audio may be played until the password is entered.
Streams that have data encryption enabled for them are wrapped in < > in the [Live view] pull-down menu. Additionally, streams that have data encryption enabled for them are enclosed within < > in the setup menu pull-down menu.
Example: When Stream 1 and JPEG(2) are data encrypted

When [Data encryption (Batch change)] is “On”, “AAC-LC” audio is data encrypted (“G.726” and “G.711” are not data encrypted). To encrypt both the image and audio, set [Data encryption (Batch change)] to “On” and set [Audio input encoding format] to “AAC-LC”.
For encrypted MP4 files and JPEG images, you can use the decryption tool to confirm the images.
