Why does an AXIS camera fail to connect to BVMS while using HTTPS?

Question

Answer

In most cases, an AXIS camera can be connected to BVMS without issues when using HTTP communication.

However, when attempting to connect the camera using HTTPS, the connection fails even if the required network ports are open. This behavior is commonly related to missing or improperly configured security certificates on the Axis camera.

HTTPS communication requires a valid certificate to establish a secure connection between the camera and BVMS. If no certificate is present on the camera, BVMS will not be able to connect using HTTPS.

To resolve this issue, a certificate must be created on the Axis camera side before attempting the HTTPS connection.

For more information on how to create and manage certificates, please refer to the official Axis documentation.
