Cybersecurity Recommendations I
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:
Cybersecurity Recommendations II
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 might 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.

Connecting Basics 33
4.2 Connecting to Video and Audio Input and Output
4.2.1 Video Input
The video input interface is BNC. The input video format includes: PAL/NTSC BNC (1.0VP-P,
75Ω).
The video signal should comply with your national standards.
The input video signal shall have high SNR, low distortion; low interference, natural color, and
suitable lightness.
Guarantee the stability and reliability of the camera signal
The camera shall be installed in a cool, dry place away from the conditions such as direct
sunlight, inflammable, and explosive substances.
The camera and the DVR should have the same grounding to ensure the normal operation of
the camera.
Guarantee stability and reliability of the transmission line
Please use high quality, sound shielded BNC. Please select suitable BNC model according to
the transmission distance.
If the distance is too long, you should use twisted pair cable, and you can add video
compensation devices or use optical fiber to ensure video quality.
You should keep the video signal away from the strong electromagnetic interference, especially
the high tension current.
Keep connection lugs in well contact
The signal line and shielded wire should be fixed firmly and in well connection. Avoid dry joint,
lap welding, and oxidation.
4.2.2 Video Output
Video output includes a BNC (PAL/NTSC1.0VP-P, 75Ω) output, a VGA output, and HDMI output.
System supports BNC, VGA and HDMI output at the same time.
When you are using pc-type monitor to replace the monitor, please pay attention to the
following points:
To defer aging, do not allow the pc monitor to run for a long time.
Regular demagnetization will keep device maintain proper status.
Keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference devices.
Using TV as video output device is not a reliable substitution method. You also need to reduce
the working hour and control the interference from power supply and other devices. The low
quality TV may result in device damage.
Connecting Basics 34
4.2.3 Audio Input
This series of products audio input port adopt BNC port.
Due to high impedance of audio input, please use active sound pick-up.
Audio transmission is similar to video transmission. Try to avoid interference, dry joint, loose
contact and it shall be away from high tension current.
4.2.4 Audio Output
The audio output signal parameter is usually over 200mv 1KΩ (BNC or RCA). It can directly
connect to low impedance earphone, active sound box or amplifier-drive audio output device.
If the sound box and the pick-up cannot be separated spatially, it is easy to arouse squeaking.
In this case you can adopt the following measures:
Use better sound pick-up with better directing property.
Reduce the volume of the sound box.
Using more sound-absorbing materials in decoration can reduce voice echo and improve
acoustics environment.
Adjust the layout of speaker and pickup to reduce squeaking.
4.3 Connecting to Alarm Input and Output
Please read the followings before connecting.
Alarm input
Make sure alarm input mode is grounding alarm input.
Grounding signal is needed for alarm input.
Alarm input needs the low level voltage signal.
Alarm input mode can be either NC (Normally Closed) or NO (Normally Open).
When you are connecting two DVRs or you are connecting one DVR and one other device,
use a relay to separate them.
Alarm output
The alarm output port should not be connected to high power load directly (It shall be less than
1A) to avoid high current which might result in relay damage. Use the contactor to realize the
connection between the alarm output port and the load.
How to connect PTZ decoder
Ensure the decoder has the same grounding with DVR; otherwise the PTZ might not be
controlled. Shielded twisted wire is recommended and the shielded layer is used to
connect to the grounding.
Avoid high voltage. Ensure proper wiring and some thunder protection measures.
For too long signal wires, 120Ω should be parallel connected between A, B lines on the far
end to reduce reflection and guarantee the signal quality.
“485 A, B” of DVR cannot parallel connect with “485 port” of other device.
The voltage between of A, B lines of the decoder should be less than 5V.
Connecting Basics 35
Make sure the front-end device has soundly earthed
Improper grounding might result in chip damage.
