Self signed certificate?

[616marek]

Hi,

What is “self signed certificate”? I have got few cameras but I just bought one from eBay and it’s got this certificate valid until July 2026. What is it? And what is going to happen when it runs out? I literally have no clue on this one. Thank you

'self signed certificate' is used when connecting to the camera securely using https on port 443 rather than http on port 80. You're unlikely to be using https so it's of no concern.
