Appendix 1 Cybersecurity Recommendations
Cybersecurity is something that pertains to every device that isconnected tothe internet (IoT).IP
video surveillance are not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps toward protecting and
strengthening networks and networked devices will make them less susceptible to attacks. Below
are some tips and recommendations onhow to create a more secured security system.
Mandatory actions tobe taken for basic device network security:
1. Use Complex Passwords
Please refer tothe following suggestions to set passwords:
●The length should not be less than 8characters;
●Include atleast two types ofcharacters; character types include upper and lower case letters,
numbers andsymbols;
●Do not contain the account name orthe account name inreverse order;
●Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.;
●Do not use overlapped characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.;
2. Update the Firmware and Client Software regularly
●According to the standard procedure inTech-industry, we recommend to keep your devices
(such as NVR, DVR, IPcamera, etc.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped with
the latest security patches and fixes. When the device is connected toapublic network, it is
recommended to enable the "auto-check for updates" function toobtain timely information
of firmware updates released bythe manufacturer.
●We suggest that youdownload anduse the latest version ofclient software.
"Nice to have" recommendations to improve your device network security:
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you conduct physical protection to devices, especially storage devices. For
example, place the device in a special computer room and cabinet and implement secure access
with controlled permissions to prevent unauthorized personnel from carrying out physical
contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of removable device (such as
USB flash disk, serial port), etc.
2. Change Passwords Regularly
We suggest that youchange passwords regularly to reduce the risk ofbeing guessed orcracked.
3. Set and Update Passwords Reset Information Timely
The device supports password reset function. Please set up related information for password
reset intime, including the end user’s mailbox and password protection questions. If the
information changes, please modify it in time. When setting password protection questions, itis
suggested not to use those that can be easily guessed.
4. Enable Account Lock
The account lock feature is enabled by default, and werecommend you to keep it on to
guarantee the account security. Ifanattacker attempts tolog in with the wrong password several
times, the corresponding account andthe source IPaddress will belocked.
5. Change Default HTTP and Other Service Ports
We suggest you tochange default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between
1024~65535, reducing the risk ofoutsiders being able toguess which ports you are using.

8
6. Enable HTTPS
We suggest youtoenable HTTPS, sothat youvisit Webservice through a secure communication
channel.
7. MAC Address Binding
We recommend youtobind the IPandMAC address ofthe gateway to the device, thus reducing
the risk ofARPspoofing.
8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably
According tobusiness and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a
minimum set of permissions to them.
9. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes
If not needed, it is recommended toturn offsome services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to
reduce risks.
If necessary, itishighly recommended that you use safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
●SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set upstrong encryption passwords and authentication
passwords.
●SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
●FTP: Choose SFTP, and set upstrong passwords.
●AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSKencryption mode, and set up strong passwords.
10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission
If your audio andvideo data contents are very important orsensitive, we recommend that you
use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen
during transmission.
Reminder: encrypted transmission will cause some loss intransmission efficiency.
11. Secure Auditing
●Check online users: wesuggest that you check online users regularly tosee ifthe device is
logged inwithout authorization.
●Check device log: Viewing thelogs will inform of any IP addresses that were used to log in to
your devices and their key operations.
12. Network Log
Due to thelimited storage capacity ofthe device, the stored log is limited. Ifyou need to save the
log for a long periods,itisrecommended that you enable the network log function to ensure that
the critical logs are synchronized tothe network log server for tracing.
13. Create a Secure Network Environment
In order to better ensure the safety ofdevice and reduce potential cyber risks, we recommend:
●Disable theport mapping function ofthe router to avoid direct access to theintranet devices
from external network.
●The network should be partitioned and isolated according tothe actual network needs. If
there are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to use
VLAN, network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, soasto achieve the
network isolation effect.
●Establish the 802.1x access authentication system toreduce the risk ofunauthorized access to
private networks.
●Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
device.
