Cybersecurity Statement and Recommendations
Cybersecurity Statement
You are responsible for the risks resulting from connecting your product to the
internet, including but not limited to, cyber-attacks, hacking attacks, computer viruses
and malware, etc. Please protect your data and personal information by taking
necessary actions, such as changing the default password and using a strong
combination, changing your password periodically, keeping your firmware up-to-date,
etc. Dahua is not responsible for any dysfunction, information leakage or other
problems caused by failure to take necessary precautions to secure your devices.We
will provide product maintenance services.
To the extent not prohibited by applicable laws, Dahua and its employees, licensees,
and affiliates are not liable for personal injury, or any incidental, special, indirect, or
consequential damages whatsoever, including, without limitation, damages for loss of
profits, corruption or loss of data, failure to transmit or receive any data, business
interruption, or any other commercial damages or losses arising out of or related to
the use or inability to use its products or services, however caused, regardless of the
theory of liability (contract, tort or otherwise), even if it has been advised of the
possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of liability for personal injury, or of incidental or consequential damages, so
this limitation may not apply to you.
In no event shall liability for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable
laws in cases involving personal injury) exceed the amount paid for products or
services.
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.
Dahua recommends changing default passwords immediately and choosing 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.
Check the firmware release of your running devices. If the firmware release date is over
18 months old, please contact a Dahua authorized local distributor or Dahua technical
support for available update releases.
“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 Dahua 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 Feature of Guest Accounts:
If your system is set up for multiple users, ensure that each user only has rights to Feature
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.
