If you no longer want people to use a specific client machine to access the data from
an encrypted camera, you can remove the encryption certificate used to enable fusion stream
encryption on that camera, from that machine.
What you should know
Access to data from encrypted cameras is controlled through the encryption certificates
installed on the machine used to access the data, as opposed to through user privileges. Only
follow this procedure if you are changing the configuration of a machine, not because an
encryption certificate is compromised. If you think the distribution of an encryption
certificate has been compromised, you can prevent it from ever being used
again on your system.IMPORTANT: If this client is the only machine that
can access the encrypted camera, make sure you do not lose its encryption certificate
(containing the
private key). If you lose the certificate, you
cannot recover the encrypted archives for that camera. If you have only one machine that can
view the encrypted camera, follow the recommended
best practices for managing private
keys.
To stop a client machine from viewing data from an encrypted
camera:
-
Log on to the client machine as a local administrator.
-
Add the Certificates snap-in to your local computer
account.
-
Delete the certificates corresponding to the encrypted cameras that you no longer want
people to view on this machine.
-
If this client is the only one using this certificate, also remove the certificate from
the Archiver.
The client will no longer be able to view new or archived data from the camera, so long
as the camera remains encrypted.
