Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecur i ty

1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords:

The number one reason sys tems get “hac ked” is due to having w eak or defaul 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 char acters, 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 t he syst em is current with t h e latest sec urity patches an d
fixes.

“Nice to have” recommendati ons t o improve your ne twork security

1. Change Passwords R egul arly

Regularly change the credentials to your devices to help ensure that only authorized users are
able to access the system.

2. Change Defaul t HTTP and TCP Port s:

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

communicate and to view video feeds remotely.

● These ports can be changed to any set of numbers between 1025-65535. Avoiding the
default ports reduces the risk of outsiders being able to guess w hi 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. Y ou w ill nee d to either updat e t he ca mera’s firmw are t o the late st r evisio n
or manually change the ONVIF password.

6. Forward Only Ports You Need:

Cybersecurity Recommendation s

Cybersecurity Recommendations 2

● 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 the 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 i s needed.

7. Disable Auto-Logi n on SmartPSS:
Those using SmartPSS to v iew t heir system and on a computer that is used by multiple people
should disable auto-login. This adds a lay er of se curi ty to prev ent users without t he appropri ate
credentials from accessi ng the system.

8. Use a Different Usern ame and Password for SmartPSS:
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 Features of Guest Account s:
If your system is set up for multip le users, ensure t hat each user on ly has rights to featur es an d
functions they need to use t o per form their job.

10. UPnP:

● UPnP will automatically try to forward port s in your router or modem. Nor mally this would be a
good thing. However, if your system automatically forwards the ports and you leave the
credentials defaulted, y ou may end up with unwanted visitors.

● If you manually forwarded t he HTTP and TCP por ts in your router /modem, t his feature should
be turned off regardless. Di sabli ng UP nP is reco mme nded w hen the func tion is not use d in rea l
applications.

11. SNMP:
Disable SNMP if you are n ot using it. If you are u sing SNM P, you sho uld do so only tem porarily,
for tracing and testing pur poses 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 Dow n the D evice:

Cybersecurity Recommendations 3

Ideally, you want to prevent any unauthorized physical access to your 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 Po E ports on t he back o f an NV R are isol ated fro m the outs ide world
and cannot be accessed direct ly .

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 will prevent any visitors or unwanted guests from getting access
to the same network the security system needs in order to function properly.
