Cyber Security Recommendations
Regulatory Information
FCC Information
1. FCC compliance
Use a strong password. At least 8 characters or a combination of characters,
numbers, and upper and lower case letters should be used in your password.
Set the password expiration time and regularly change the passwords of your
devices to ensure that only authorized users can access the system
(recommended time is 90 days).
The system will automatically check the latest firmware version once a day.
Once the latest version is checked, you’d better update it to ensure the system
is current with the latest security patches and fixes.
It is recommended to change the service default ports (like HTTP-80,
HTTPS-443, etc.) to reduce the risk of outsiders being able to access.
It is recommended to set the firewall of your router. But note that some
important ports cannot be closed (like HTTP port, HTTPS port, Data Port).
It is not recommended to expose the device to the public network. When it is
necessary to be exposed to the public network, please set the external
hardware firewall and the corresponding firewall policy.
It is not recommended to use the v1 and v2 functions of SNMP.
In order to enhance the security of WEB client access, please create a TLS
certificate to enable HTTPS.
Use black and white list to filter the IP address. This will prevent everyone,
except those specified IP addresses from accessing the system.
If you add multiple users, please limit functions of guest accounts.
If you enable UPnP, it will automatically try to forward ports in your router or
modem. It is really very convenient for users, but this will increase the risk of
data leakage when the system automatically forwards ports. Disabling UPnP is
recommended when the function is not used in real applications.
Check the log. If you want to know whether your device has been accessed by
unauthorized users or not, you can check the log. The system log will show you
which IP addresses were used to log in your system and what was accessed.

The products have been tested and found in compliance with the council FCC
rules and regulations part 15 subpart B. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference. This equipment generates

interface at his own expense in case the harmful interference occurs.
Operation of this product is subject the following two conditions: (1) this device
may not cause harmful interface, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.

Alarm Input:
Alarm IN 1~16 are 16 CH alarm input interfaces. There are no type requirements
for sensors. NO type and NC type are both available.
The way to connect sensor and the device is as shown below:
The alarm input is an open/closed relay. If the input is not an open/closed
relay, please refer to the following connection diagram:
Alarm Output:
The way to connect alarm output device:
Pull out the green terminal blocks and loosen the screws in the alarm-out port.
Then insert the signal wires of the alarm output devices into the port of NO and
COM separately. Finally, tighten the screws. Provided that the external alarm
output devices need power supply, you can connect the power supply as per
the following figures.

Type 1: The P/Z interfaces are used to connect speed dome. K/B interfaces are
used to connect keyboard.
Type 2: The RS485 interfaces are not only used to connect speed dome but
also to connect keyboard.
The way to connect speed dome to the DVR:
Type 1: Disconnect pluggable block from the RS485 terminal block and then
loosen the fixed screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into Y
and Z port separately (Y is TX+; Z is TX-) and tighten the fixed screws. Next,
connect pluggable block back into terminal block. Finally, connect the video
cable of the speed dome to the video input interface of the DVR.
Type 2: Disconnect pluggable block from the RS485 terminal block and then
loosen the fixed screws from the pluggable block, insert signal cables into A
and B port separately (A is TX+; B is TX-) and tighten the fixed screws. Next,
connect pluggable block back into terminal block. Finally, connect the video
cable of the speed dome to the video input interface of the DVR.
There are two types of RS485 interfaces:
RS485 Connection
(Type 1) (Type 2)
Note:
The pluggable block of some models may not be connected into the terminal block
and you shall obtain it from the accessories.

2 Basic Operation Guide
2.1 Startup & Shutdown
2.2 Remote Controller
10
Please make sure all the connections are done properly before you power on the
unit. Proper startup and shutdown are crucial to extending the life of your
device.
Key points to check in case the remote doesn’t work.
1. Check batteries polarity.
2. Check the remaining charge in the batteries.
3. Check IR controller sensor for any masking.
If it still doesn’t work, please change a new remote controller to try, or contact
your dealers. You can just turn the IR sensor of the remote controller towards the
IR receiver of the DVR to control it when you are controlling multiple devices by
remote controller.
