Cybersecurity Recommendations
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.
Change the passwords periodically to ensure that only authorized users can access the system (recommended time is
90 days).
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 a security system for your router. Important ports such as HTTP, HTTPS and dual ports
cannot be closed.
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 security system and the corresponding security system policy.
It is not recommended to use the v1 and v2 functions of SNMP.
To enhance the security of WEB client access, please create a TLS certificate to enable HTTPS.
Use black- and white- lists to filter the IP address. This will prevent everyone, except those specified IP addresses from
accessing the system.
If you add multiple users, limit the functions of guest accounts.
If you enable UPnP, it will automatically try to forward ports in your router or modem. It is 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 to your system and what was
accessed.

changing menus.
5.1 Camera Configuration
Camera Configuration includes Display, Video/Audio, OSD, Video Mask and ROI
(region of interest) setup.
5.1.1 Camera Parameters
Go to Setup>Camera>Camera Parameters interface as shown below. The
image’s brightness, contrast, hue and saturation settings for Common, Day mode,
and Night Mode can be set up separately. Changes to the image can be quickly
seen by switching the Configuration File type.
Brightness: Set the brightness level of the camera’s image.
Contrast: Set the color gradient between the brightest/darkest parts of the
image.
Hue: Set the total color degree of the image.

10
Saturation: Set the degree of color purity. A high Saturation will make the image
appear more vibrant.
Sharpness: Set the resolution level of the image plane and the sharpness level of
the image edge.
Noise Reduction: Decrease the visual noise to make the image appear less
grainy due to electronic interference. Increasing this value will make the image
clearer but will also reduce the image resolution.
Defog: Clear the camera’s image in a foggy, dusty, smoggy, or rainy
environment.
Auto Iris: If your camera is using a motorized auto-focus iris lens, enable this
setting to allow the camera to automatically focus the image after zooming
in/out.
Backlight Compensation (BLC):
Off (default): disables the backlight compensation function.
HWDR: when enabled, a wide dynamic range will automatically adjust the
camera to provide a better image by balancing highly contrasted areas
simultaneously in the field of view by lowering the brightness of the bright area
and increasing the brightness of the dark area.
The stream will temporarily stop for a few seconds while the mode is changing
from non-WDR to WDR mode.
HLC: highlight compensation will lower the brightness of the entire image by
suppressing overexposed areas of the image and will reduce the size of the light
halo effect.
BLC: backlight compensation will adjust camera auto-exposure to increase
light exposure in the darkest areas of an image.
Antiflicker:
Off (default): disables the anti-flicker function. This is used mostly in outdoor
installations.
50Hz: reduces flicker in 50Hz lighting conditions.
60Hz: reduces flicker in 60Hz lighting conditions.
Smart IR: Select “ON” or “OFF”. This function will automatically prevent image
overexposure and underexposure by controlling the brightness of the IR lights.
White Balance: Adjusts the color temperature to match the color of the
environmental light source to give white objects a white coloration and a more
natural appearance.
Day/Night Mode:
•Auto: automatically change between Day mode and Night mode; depends
upon
Sensitivity setting
•Day: forces camera to remain in the full-color mode
•Night: forces camera to remain in black/white image and

11
•Timing: the camera will switch day/night mode following a schedule.
Shutter Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If “Manual” is selected, the digital
shutter speed can be adjusted.
Gain Mode: Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. If “Auto” is selected, the gain value will
be automatically adjusted according to the environment. If “Manual” is selected,
the gain value shall be set manually. A higher value will result in a brighter image.
Lens Distortion Correction: If the image appears warped, enable this function
and adjust the level to correct the distortion. (available for fisheye models only)
HFR: High Frame Rate. If “ON” is selected, the maximum frame rate of the Main
stream can be set to 60 fps /50fps.
Frequency: Select either 50Hz (EU/Asia) or 60Hz (N/S America).
Infra-red Mode:
•Auto: the camera will automatically turn IR lights ON/OFF when switching
between Day/Night modes.
•ON: forces camera IR lights to remain ON.
•OFF: forces camera IR lights to remain OFF.
Corridor Pattern: Corridor viewing modes can be used for situations such as
long hallways. 0 (default), 90, 180 and 270-degree options are available. The
video resolution should remain at 1080p or below if this function is used.
Image Mirror: invert the current video image horizontally.
Image Flip: invert the current video image vertically.
5.1.2 Video Configuration
Go to Setup>Camera >Video interface as shown below. In this interface, set the
resolution, frame rate, bitrate type, and video quality of the camera, depending
on network conditions.

12
Three video streams can be adjusted.
Resolution: Adjusts the camera stream resolution.
Frame rate: Adjusts image FPS (frames per second). A high frame rate results in
a smoother video.
Bitrate type:
•CBR: constant bitrate; compression bitrate is kept constant and allows video
quality to vary.
•VBR: variable bitrate; compression bitrate will be adjusted according to
scene changes. For example, for scenes that do not have much movement,
the bitrate will be kept at a lower value. This can help optimize network
bandwidth usage.
Bitrate: (CBR must be enabled); determines processing power for video
streaming where higher bitrate results in better image quality.
Video Quality: (VBR must be enabled); The higher the image quality, the more
bitrate will be required.
I-Frame interval: Determines how many partial frames (P-frames) may be
inserted between full frames (group of pictures) in the video stream. If there is
not much movement in the scene, setting the value higher than the frame rate
may potentially result in less bandwidth usage. However, if the value is set too
high and there is a high frequency of movement in the video there is a risk of
frame skipping.
Video Compression: Determines max data rate and video resolution for a video
stream. Select H.264, H.265, or MJPEG (unavailable for the Main stream)

13
according to system storage requirements.
Profile: (H.264) Baseline, main and high profiles are selectable.
Send Snapshot: Select how many snapshots to generate when sending event
notifications.
Videos encode slice split: Enable this function to improve camera image when
using a low-performance PC.
Watermark: Enable to display of a watermark when viewing locally recorded
video playback in the search interface. Tex t e ntered into
Watermark content will
display.
5.1.3 Audio Configuration
Go to Setup>Camera>Audio as shown below. In this interface, set the audio
settings required for your setup. (availability varies by model).
The audio can be enabled or disabled as needed.
Audio Encoding: G711A and G711U are selectable.
Audio Type: LIN. And MIC (available for camera models with built-in
microphones only) is selectable.
5.1.4 OSD Configuration

onscreen display that will overlay the camera video.

14
Date Format: Set how the calendar date will appear; enable “ Show Timestamp ”
to include the current time.
Device Name: Enable “ Show Device Name ” to display the model number in the
overlay.
OSD Content: Add additional lines of text to the overlay.
After enabling the OSD settings, you may drag and drop to reposition the
overlay items. Click the “Save” button to save any setting changes.
5.1.5 Privacy Mask
Go to Setup>Camera>Privacy Mask interface as shown below. A maximum of 4
zones can be set up. In this interface, you can create privacy mask zones to
blackout areas of the camera image.

15
