Important Safeguards and Warnings This chapter describes the contents covering proper handling of the device, hazard prevention, and prevention of property damage. Read these contents carefully before using the device, comply with them when using, and keep it well for future reference.
An object has fallen on the unit. The unit has been dropped and the housing is damaged. The unit displays a marked change in performance. The unit does not operate in the expected manner when the user correctly follows the proper operating procedures. Ensure a service technician uses replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or that have the same characteristics as the original parts. Unauthorized parts may cause fire, electrical shock, or other hazards.
Do not touch the CCD or the CMOS optic sensor. Use a blower to clean dust or dirt on the lens surface. Use a dry cloth dampened with alcohol and gently wipe away any dust on the lens. Use a dry soft cloth to clean the unit’s housing. If the unit is particularly dusty, use water to dilute a mild detergent, apply the diluted detergent to a soft cloth, then gently clean the device. Finally, use a dry cloth to wipe the unit dry.
Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity 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.
Change ONVIF Password Older IP camera firmware does not automatically change the ONVIF password when the system credentials are changed. Update the camera’s firmware to the latest revision or manually change the ONVIF password. Forward Only Ports You Need Forward only the HTTP and TCP ports that are requited. Do not forward a wide range of numbers to the device. Do not DMZ the device's IP address.
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. Isolate NVR and IP Camera Network Ensure that the network for the NVR and IP cameras should not be the same network as a public computer network. Separate networks prevent unauthorized users accessing the same network the security system.
