Cybersecurity Recommendations
1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords
The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords. 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
characters, numbers, and upper and lower case letters.
2. Update Firmware
As is standard procedure in the tech-industry, we recommend keeping IP camera firmware up-to-date to
ensure the system is current with the latest security patches and fixes.
“Nice to have” recommendations to improve your network security
1. Change Passwords Regularly
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 Ports:
● 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 which ports 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:
v
On older IP Camera firmware, the ONVIF password does not change when you change the system’s
credentials. You will need to either update the camera’s firmware to the latest revision or manually
change the ONVIF password.
6. Forward Only Ports You Need:
● 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 is needed.
7. Limit Features of Guest Accounts:
If your system is set up for multiple users, ensure that each user only has rights to features and
functions they need to use to perform their job.
8. 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 ports in your router/modem, this feature should be
turned off regardless. Disabling UPnP is recommended when the function is not used in real
applications.
9. SNMP:
Disable SNMP if you are not using it. If you are using SNMP, you should do so only temporarily, for
tracing and testing purposes only.
10. 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.
11. 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.
12. Physically Lock Down the Device:
vi
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.
13. Connect IP Cameras to the PoE Ports on the Back of an NVR:
Cameras connected to the PoE ports on the back of an NVR are isolated from the outside world and
cannot be accessed directly.
14. Isolate 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.
Electrical safety
All installation and operation should conform to your local electrical safety codes.
The power source shall conform to the requirement of the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV)
standard, and supply power with voltage rated by DC 12 V or AC 24 V according to the Limited
power Source requirement of IEC60950-1. Please note that the power supply requirement is
subject to the device label.
Make sure the power supply is correct before operating the device.
A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring
Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and the
junction extruded from the device.
We assume no liability or responsibility for all the fires or electrical shock caused by improper
handling or installation.
Environment
Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light, otherwise it might
cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and affect the longevity
of Charge Coupled Device (CCD) or Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
Do not place the device in a damp or dusty environment, extremely hot or cold temperatures, or the
locations with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
Keep the camera away from water or other liquid to avoid damages to the internal components.
Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and
installation.
vii
Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting the
device.

1 Product Overview
The common networking mode for IPC is to connect IPC to PC via switch or router. The common
network mode is shown in Figure 1-1
Figure1-1
Before you have access to network camera via the Internet, you need to acquire its IP address. Users
can search IP address of network camera via Quick Config Tool.

2 Initial Config
In this chapter it is to introduce the device initial config operation, which includes device initialization,
login device, log out WEB interface and password reset.
2.1 Device Initialization
It needs to implement device initialization when you use the device for the first time. Here it is to take
WEB operation as an example to introduce device initialization. You can also initialize device via Quick
Config Tool, NVR and platform etc.
Note
In order to guarantee device safety, please keep admin login password properly after device
initialization, and modify the password regularly.
Step 1
Open IE browser, input camera IP address in the address bar and click Enter.
The system will display the interface of Device Initialization after it is connected successfully, which is
shown in Figure 2-1
Note
The default IP address is 192.168.1.108.

It is to adjust the color darkness and lightness. The color becomes darker
when the value is bigger; on the contrary it becomes lighter. The value
causes no influence to the overall brightness of the image.
It is to adjust the sharpness level of the picture edge. The bigger the
sharpness value is, the more obvious the image edge becomes, the image
is likely to generate noise more easily when the value is set too big.
It is to change image brightness and improve the dynamic display range of
the image via nonlinear adjustment mode. The bigger the value is, the
brighter the picture becomes, and on the contrary it is opposite.
Mirror After mirror is enabled, the monitoring image will be displayed invertedly.
It is to change the display direction of the monitoring image.
It includes following options:
Normal: The monitoring picture is normally displayed.
Flip mode 1: The monitoring picture is displayed with clockwise
