Solution Overview

Problem

Existing camera adaptation methods for video monitoring systems lack security, as direct network configuration exposes camera and system information, leading to potential leaks and reduced security.

Innovation Solution

A method and apparatus that acquire camera device basic information, generate configuration information, bind it with the monitoring system, and encrypt it using the basic information as a secret key to create a ciphertext combination, ensuring secure adaptation by decrypting it at the camera device.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If direct network configuration is used for camera adaptation, then adaptation speed is improved, but information security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptation speedVSAvoidinformation leakage
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary encryption mechanism between the camera and monitoring system. Configuration information is encrypted using the camera's basic information as a secret key before transmission, and decrypted only after authentication. This intermediary encryption layer prevents direct information exposure while maintaining adaptation efficiency, resolving the contradiction between speed and security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If configuration information is transmitted in plain text, then transmission efficiency is improved, but data security deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransmission efficiencyVSAvoiddata security
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of configuration information from plain text to encrypted text format. The basic information (serial number and password) serves as the encryption key, transforming the data representation to enhance security while maintaining transmission efficiency through standard encryption protocols.

AI summary

The present application relates to the technical field of video monitoring. Disclosed are an adaptation method and apparatus for a camera device, and an Internet-of-Things terminal and a storage medium. The method comprises: acquiring basic information of a camera device; on the basis of the basic information, generating configuration information corresponding to a monitoring system; binding the configuration information and the basic information by means of the monitoring system, such that the monitoring system identifies the camera device; and using the basic information as a secret key to encrypt the configuration information, so as to obtain a ciphertext combination, and sending the ciphertext combination to the camera device, such that the camera device decrypts the ciphertext combination on the basis of the basic information, thereby adapting the camera device to the monitoring system.
