Cybersecurity Recommendations I

Cybersecurity Recommendations

Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecuri ty

1. Change Passwords and Use Str ong Passwords:

The number one reason syst ems get “hac ked” is du e to hav ing weak or def aul t passw ords. It is
recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong password
whenever possible. A strong password should be made up of at least 8 characters and a
combination of special charac t er s, 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 ens ure the sy st em is cur rent w ith th e l atest secur ity patches an d
fixes.

“Nice to have” recomm endations to im pr ove your network security

1. Change Passwords Regul ar l y

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 Port s:

● Change default HTTP and TCP ports for systems. These are the two ports used to

communicate and to view v ideo feeds r emotely.

● These ports can be changed to any set of numbers between 1025-65535. Avoiding the
default ports reduces the ris k of outsiders being able to guess whi ch por t s 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 w ill need t o either u pdate t he c amer a’s fir mwar e to t he latest revision
or manually change the ONVI F password.

6. Forward Only Ports You Need:

Cybersecurity Recommendations II

● 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 t he 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-Logi n on SmartPSS:
Those using SmartPSS to view their system and on a computer that is used by multiple pe ople
should disable auto-login. This adds a lay er of se curit y to pr event users w ithout t he appropri ate
credentials from accessing the system.

8. Use a Different Username and Password for Smart P SS:
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 s of Guest Accounts:
If your system is set up for multiple user s, ensure tha t each user on ly has r ights to features and
functions they need to use to per form 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 port s in your router/mod em, this feature sho uld
be turned off regardless. Disab ling UPnP i s reco mmende d w hen the funct ion is not use d in rea l
applications.

11. SNMP:
Disable SNMP if you are n ot using it. I f you are us ing SNMP, you should do s o only tempor arily,
for tracing and testing purpos es 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:

Cybersecurity Recommendations III

Ideally, you want to prevent any unauthorized physical access to y our 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 t o t he P oE Ports on the Back of an NVR:
Cameras connected to th e PoE por ts on the back of an NVR are isolated from the out side w orld
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 w il l prevent any visitors or unwanted guests from gett in g ac cess
to the same network the security system needs in order to fun ct ion properly.
