Appendix 1 Recommendations for
cybersecurity
Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword – it is something that pertains to every device that
is connected to the Internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking
basic steps to protect and harden networks and network-connected devices will make them
less susceptible to attack. Below are some tips and recommendations on how to create a
more secure security system.
Mandatory measures that you must take for the security of
the basic equipment network:
1.
Use strong passwords
See the following tips for setting passwords:
●
The length cannot be less than 8 characters;
●
Include at least two types of characters: upper and lower case letters, numbers, and
symbols;
●
Do not use account name or account name backwards.
●
Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.;
●
Do not use continuous repeating characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.;
two.
Update firmware and client software on time
●
As per the standard procedure in the technology industry, we recommend that you
keep the firmware of your equipment (such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) up to date to
ensure that the system is equipped with the latest patches and security fixes. When
the equipment is connected to the public network, it is recommended to enable the
"automatic update checking" function to obtain timely information about firmware
updates published by the manufacturer.
●
We suggest that you download and use the latest version of the client software.
Recommended measures to improve the security of your computer's network:
1.
physical protection
We suggest that you physically protect your equipment, especially storage devices. For
example, place the equipment in a dedicated computer room and cabinet and implement
proper access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized
personnel from physically accessing the equipment and damaging the hardware,
unauthorized connection to equipment removable (such as a USB flash disk, a serial port),
etc.
two.
Change passwords periodically
We suggest that you change your passwords periodically to reduce the risk that they
can be guessed or cracked.
3.
Establish and promptly update password reset information
The equipment supports the password reset function. Set up related information for
timely password reset, including password protection questions and end-user email
address. If the information changes, change it immediately. When setting password
protection questions, we suggest that you do not use easily guessed ones.
Four.
Enable account lockout
The account lockout feature is enabled by default, and allows you to
