What are the different types of security settings for streaming video via the HTTP protocol?

Depending on the network security requirements, the Network Camera provides three types of security settings for streaming via HTTP protocol:

disable, basic, and digest.

BASIC:
If basic authentication is selected, the password is sent in plain text format, but there can be potential risks of it being intercepted.

DIGEST:
If digest authentication is selected, user credentials are encrypted using MD5 algorithm, thus providing better protection against unauthorized access.
