2.15 Attendance Rules

This section uses the configured shifts below as an example.

Table 2-13 Shifts (example)

Shifts Time
Period 1 9:00–12:00
Period 2 14:00–17:30
Overtime Session 18:45–20:00
late-in allowed time	5 minutes
early-out allowed time	5 minutes

For details on how to configure shifts, see "2.7.1 Configuring Shifts".

Clock In/Out Time

If 2 time periods are configured, the middle point of the interval is the division of the 2 time periods.

• If the interval of 2 periods is an even number, for example, period 1 is 9:00–12:00, and period 2 is 14:00–17:30, the interval between the 2 periods is 120 minutes, the allowed punch-out time for period 1 is 12:00–12:59, and the allowed punch-in time for period 2 is 13:00–14:00.
• If the interval of 2 periods is an odd number, for example, the period 2 is 14:00–17:30 and the over-time period is 18:45–20:00, the interval is 75. The allowed punch-out time is 17:30–18:07, and the allowed punch-in time of the overtime period is 18:08–18:45.

• If you clock in for multiple times during the allowed punch-in time, the earliest punch-in is effective.
• If you clock out for multiple times during the allowed punch-out time, the last time punch-out is effective.
• There is no late-in or early-out status in the overtime period. The time between the punch-in and punch-out is the overtime.

Table 2-14 Normal Attendance

Period	Normal Punch-in Time	Normal Punch-out Time
Period 1	00:00–9:05The attendance time is precise to seconds. For example, 9:05:000–9:05:59 is the normal punch-in time.	11:55–12:59
Period 2	13:00–13:05	17:25–18:07

Abnormal Attendance

One time period indicates 0.5 day. Each period requires both punch-in and punch-out record, otherwise 0.5 day absence is recorded.

According to Table 2-14, if a person checks the attendance at 9:05, 11:54, and 17:00, it be marked as an early leave by 1 minute in the first period, and 0.5 day absence from work because there is no punch-out in the second period.

2.16 Working Hours Calculation

Actual Working Hours

The total working hours of a day = The working hours of period 1 + The working hours of period 2. For example, the period 1 is 9:00–12:00 and the period 2 is 14:00–17:30, and the normal working hours for a day is 6.5 hours. If a person checks the attendance at 8:00, 12:30, 15:00 and 17:00, the working hours are 3 hours in the period 1, and the working hours are 2 hours in the period 2, and the total working hours are 5 hours.

The working hours are precise down to one decimal place.

Overtime Working Hours

The total overtime = Punch-in time in the overtime period — Punch-out time in the overtime period For example, if a person punches in at 18:20 and punches out at 19:30 during the overtime period, the total overtime working hours are 1.1 hours.

A: On the standby screen, tap #, and then place your finger on the fingerprint sensor, or enter the user ID and password, or swipe the card.

Appendix 4 Cybersecurity Recommendations

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

• 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 device 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.

4. Enable Account Lock

The account lock feature is enabled by default, and we recommend you to keep it on to guarantee the account security. If an attacker attempts to log in with the wrong password several times, the corresponding account and the source IP address will be locked.

5. Change Default HTTP and Other Service Ports

We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between 1024–65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using.

6. Enable HTTPS

We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication channel.

7. MAC Address Binding

We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the equipment, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing.

8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably

According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a

minimum set of permissions to them.

9. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes

If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to reduce risks.

If necessary, it is highly recommended that you use safe modes, including but not limited to the following services:

• SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption passwords and authentication passwords.
• SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
• FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up strong passwords.
• AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up strong passwords.

10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission

If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, we recommend that you use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen during transmission.

Reminder: encrypted transmission will cause some loss in transmission efficiency.

11. Secure Auditing

• Check online users: we suggest that you check online users regularly to see if the device is logged in without authorization.
• Check equipment log: By viewing the logs, you can know the IP addresses that were used to log in to your devices and their key operations.

12. Network Log

Due to the limited storage capacity of the equipment, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the log for a long time, it is recommended that you enable the network log function to ensure that the critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.

13. Construct a Safe Network Environment

In order to better ensure the safety of equipment and reduce potential cyber risks, we recommend:

• Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices from external network.
• The network should be partitioned and isolated according to the actual network needs. If there are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to use VLAN, network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, so as to achieve the network isolation effect.
• Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to private networks.
• Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the device.
