 Please don’t place the device in the humid, dusty, extremely hot and cold site with strong

electromagnetic radiation or unstable illumination.

Important Safeguards and Warnings IV

 Please don’t block the ventilation opening near the device, which is to avoid heat

accumulation for the device.

 Please don’t install the device near the place with heat source, such as radiator, heater,

stove or other heating equipment, which is to avoid fire.

 Please don’t aim the lens at intense radiation source directly (such as sun, laser and

molten steel etc.), which is to avoid causing damage to the thermal detector.

 Please don’t let any liquid enter the device, which is to avoid causing damage to the

internal components; please stop using the device immediately and cut off the power, plug

Important Safeguards and Warnings VI

Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s 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 toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them
less susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations on how to create a
more secured security system.

Mandatory actions to be taken for basic equipment network security

1. Use Strong Passwords

Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords:

- The length should not be less than 8 characters;

- Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case

letters, numbers and symbols;

- Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order;

- Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.;

- Do not use overlapped characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.;

2. Update Firmware and Client Software in Time

Cybersecurity Recommendations

- According to the standard procedure in Tech-industry, we recommend to keep your
equipment (such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the
system is equipped with the latest security patches and fixes. When the equipment is
connected to the public network, it is recommended to enable the “auto-check for
updates” function to obtain timely information of firmware updates released by the
manufacturer.

- We suggest that you download and use the latest version of client software.

“Nice to have” recommendations to improve your equipment network security:

1. Physical Protection

We suggest that you perform physical protection to equipment, especially storage devices. For
example, place the equipment in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement well-done
access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from carrying
out physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of removable
equipment (such as USB flash disk, serial port), etc.

2. Change Passwords Regularly

We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed or
cracked.

3. Set and Update Passwords Reset Information Timely

The equipment supports password reset function. Please set up related information for password
reset in time, including the end user’s mailbox and password protection questions. If the
information changes, please modify it in time. When setting password protection questions, it is
suggested not to use those that can be easily guessed.
