Cybersecurity Recommendations
Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity
1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords:
The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords. It is
recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong password whenever
possible. A strong password should be made up of at least 8 characters and a combination of special
characters, numbers, and upper and lower case letters.
2. Update Firmware
As is standard procedure in the tech-industry, we recommend keeping NVR, DVR, and IP camera
firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is current with the latest security patches and fixes.
“Nice to have” recommendations to improve your network security
1. Change Passwords Regularly
Regularly change the credentials to your devices to help ensure that only authorized users are able to
access the system.
2. Change Default HTTP and TCP Ports:
● Change default HTTP and TCP ports for systems. These are the two ports used to communicate and
to view video feeds remotely.
● These ports can be changed to any set of numbers between 1025-65535. Avoiding the default ports
reduces the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using.
3. Enable HTTPS/SSL:
Set up an SSL Certificate to enable HTTPS. This will encrypt all communication between your devices
and recorder.
4. Enable IP Filter:
Enabling your IP filter will prevent everyone, except those with specified IP addresses, from accessing
the system.
5. Change ONVIF Password:
On older IP Camera firmware, the ONVIF password does not change when you change the system’s
credentials. You will need to either update the camera’s firmware to the latest revision or manually
change the ONVIF password.
6. Forward Only Ports You Need:
● Only forward the HTTP and TCP ports that you need to use. Do not forward a huge range of numbers
to the device. Do not DMZ the device's IP address.
● You do not need to forward any ports for individual cameras if they are all connected to a recorder on
site; just the NVR is needed.
7. Disable Auto-Login on SmartPSS:
Those using SmartPSS to view their system and on a computer that is used by multiple people should
disable auto-login. This adds a layer of security to prevent users without the appropriate credentials from
accessing the system.
8. Use a Different Username and Password for SmartPSS:
In the event that your social media, bank, email, etc. account is compromised, you would not want
someone collecting those passwords and trying them out on your video surveillance system. Using a
different username and password for your security system will make it more difficult for someone to
guess their way into your system.
9. Limit Features of Guest Accounts:
If your system is set up for multiple users, ensure that each user only has rights to features and functions
they need to use to perform their job.
10. UPnP:
● UPnP will automatically try to forward ports in your router or modem. Normally this would be a good
thing. However, if your system automatically forwards the ports and you leave the credentials defaulted,
you may end up with unwanted visitors.
● If you manually forwarded the HTTP and TCP ports in your router/modem, this feature should be
turned off regardless. Disabling UPnP is recommended when the function is not used in real
applications.
11. SNMP:
Disable SNMP if you are not using it. If you are using SNMP, you should do so only temporarily, for
tracing and testing purposes only.
12. Multicast:
Multicast is used to share video streams between two recorders. Currently there are no known issues
involving Multicast, but if you are not using this feature, deactivation can enhance your network security.
13. Check the Log:
If you suspect that someone has gained unauthorized access to your system, you can check the system
log. The system log will show you which IP addresses were used to login to your system and what was
accessed.
14. Physically Lock Down the Device:
Ideally, you want to prevent any unauthorized physical access to your system. The best way to achieve
this is to install the recorder in a lockbox, locking server rack, or in a room that is behind a lock and key.
15. Connect IP Cameras to the PoE Ports on the Back of an NVR:
Cameras connected to the PoE ports on the back of an NVR are isolated from the outside world and
cannot be accessed directly.
16. Isolate NVR and IP Camera Network
The network your NVR and IP camera resides on should not be the same network as your public
computer network. This will prevent any visitors or unwanted guests from getting access to the same
network the security system needs in order to function properly.

2 Unpacking the Box and Wiring
2.1 Checking after Unpacking
Step 1 When you get this Controller, check if there is visible damage to its appearance.
Protective materials on the packaging of the Controller can prevent most damage
during transportation.
Step 2 After unpacking the packaging, check if the components are complete against the
packing list. Remove the protective film on the Controller if there are no problems after
checking.
Step 3 Open the industrial cabinet, and check if data cables, power lines, the connection of the
motherboard and port board are loose.
Information about the Controller like the serial number is written on the label pasted on
the side of the industrial cabinet. You need to provide information on the label when you
call the after sales service center. Keep the label properly, or we might not be able to
provide effective services.
When any of the ports on the Controller motherboard is connected to the Ethernet port,
and the corresponding Ethernet port flickers with green light, the Controller is correctly
connected to the network.
Step 2 Set IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for the PC and Controller. For network
settings of the Controller, see “3.4.2 Network Setting”. (If there is no router in the
network, assign IP addresses in the same network segment; if there is router, set the
corresponding gateway and subnet mask.)
Step 3 Use ping ***.***.***.*** (IP address of the Controller) to check if the network is correctly
connected.
Step 4 Select Tool > Internet Options > Custom Level in the IE Browser, and then select
Enable or Prompt for the ActiveX controls and Plug-in options.

Parameter Description
Network models are as follows:
Multiple access
The two network cards can be used independently. You can use
either use network card 1 or network card 2 to ask the Controller to
provide services like HTTP and RTSP. You need to set a default
network card (network card 1 by default) to ask DHCP, Email, and
FTP devices to provide network services. When checking your
network connection state, if only one of the network cards is
disconnected form the network, the network is considered
disconnected.
Fault-tolerance
Each network uses one IP address. Normally only one network card
Network mode works. When the working network card has malfunctions, the other
network card will work automatically. When checking your network
connection state, if the two network cards are both disconnected form
the network, the network is considered disconnected. The two
network cards need to be in the same local area network.
Load balancing
Each network uses one IP address, and both network cards work at
the same time to take the network load. Throughput of each network
card is basically the same. If one network card has malfunctions, the
other one will work normally. When checking your network connection
state, if the two network cards are both disconnected form the
network, the network is considered disconnected. The two network
cards need to be in the same local area network.
Default network When the “network mode” is set to be “multiple acess”, you can select a
card network card as the default card.
