Network Video Recorder User’s Manual V4.4.3 ZHEJIANG DAHUA VISION TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.
Cybersecurity Recommendations Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity 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.
Those using SmartPSS to view their system and on a computer that is used by multiple people should disable auto-login. This adds a layer of security to prevent users without the appropriate credentials from accessing the system. 8. Use a Different Username 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.
