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.

- Update Firmware

- As is standard procedure in the tech-industry, we recommend keeping NVR, DVR, and IP camera firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is current with the latest security patches and fixes.

Recommendations to improve your network security

• Change Passwords Regularly

• The length should be greater than 8 characters;
• Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols;
• Do not use an account name or the account name in reverse order;
• Do not use sequential characters, such as 123, abc, etc.;
• Do not use repeated characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.;

- 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 and 65535. Avoiding the default ports reduces the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using.

- Update Firmware and Client Software

• Keep your network-enabled equipment (such as NVRs, DVRs, IP cameras, 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.
• Download and use the latest version of client software.

- Enable HTTPS/SSL

- Set up an SSL Certificate and enable HTTPS to encrypt all communication between your devices and recorder.

- Enable IP Filter

- Enable the IP filter to prevent unauthorized access to the system.

- 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.
• Do not forward any ports for individual cameras if they are all connected to a recorder on site. Simply forward the NVR port.

- Disable Auto-Login on SmartPSS

- Disable the Auto-Login feature on SmartPSS installed on a computer that is used by multiple people. Disabling auto-login prevents users without the appropriate credentials from accessing the system.

• Use a Different Username and Password for SmartPSS

- Do not a username/password combination that you have in use for other accounts, including social media, bank account, or email in case the account is compromised. Use a different username and password for your security system to make it difficult for an unauthorized user to gain access to the IP system.

- Limit Features of Guest Accounts

- Ensure that each user has rights to features and functions they need to perform their job.

- Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes

• Turn off specific services, such as SNMP, SMTP, and UPnP, to reduce network compromise from unused services.
• It is recommended to 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 a mailbox server.
• FTP: Choose SFTP and use strong passwords.
• AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode and use strong passwords.

- Multicast

- Multicast is used to share video streams between two recorders. Currently there are no known issues involving Multicast. Deactivate this feature if not in use to enhance network security.

- Check the Log

• The information stored in the network log file is limited due to the equipment's limited storage capacity. Enable the network log function to ensure that the critical logs are synchronized to the network log server if saving log files is required.
• Check the system log if you suspect that someone has gained unauthorized access to the system. The system log shows the IP addresses used to login to the system and the devices accessed.

• Physically Lock Down the Device

- Perform physical protection to equipment, especially storage devices. For example, place the equipment in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from accessing the equipment.

- 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.

- Secure Auditing

- Check online users regularly to ensure unauthorized accounts are not logged in to a device.

- Check the equipment log to access the IP addresses used to login to devices and their key operations.

2.3 Alarm Setup

Certain devices support alarm inputs and outputs, check your specific device for alarm capability.

2.3.1 Alarm Input

Refer to the figure below for alarm input configuration. The device collects that status of the alarm input port when the input signal is idle or grounded. If the input signal is connected to the 3.3 V or it is idle then the device receives the alarm input signal. If input signal is grounded, then no alarm input signal is detected.

Figure 2-4: Alarm Input Diagram

2.3.2 Alarm Output – Level Application

Use this alarm output configuration if the output triggers an external device by increasing the voltage.

The alarm must increase the external pull-up resistance to trigger (high level) the device. The maximum external pull-up level is 5 V and the maximum port current is 5 mA. Once the output increases the pull-up resistance, the alarm decreases the output voltage to the normal state (low level) at less than 0.8 V.

Figure 2-6: Alarm Output Switch Application Diagram

2.4 Locally Storing Data

Certain cameras include a SDHC card slot for onboard storage that support a 128 GB Micro SD card. Dahua recommends using a SanDisk Extreme Micro SD card (or an equivalent substitute) as these cards have been fully tested without issue and the SanDisk Extreme line is better suited for constant recording. Lower-grade SD cards meant for multimedia applications will, at times, have questionable quality and reliability.

Recording to the SD card is first in first out (FIFO). The camera deletes the oldest (first) entry as new storage requirements arise. The camera does not signal nor make an indication when data is deleted. Storage time is dependent on a variety of factors such as SD card size, image resolution and video frames per second.

SD Recording supports video only. Audio is not supported.

4 Network Configuration

Dahua IP cameras feature a built-in Web interface to control all aspects of camera operation. This section includes details about the supported network protocols, configuring IP addresses, and configuring alarms and local recording options. Refer to the camera's Operations Manual for full details.

4.1 Network Protocols

Dahua cameras support RTSP, RTP/TCP, RTP/UDP, HTTP, DHCP, TFTP, QoS, IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6).

• RTSP – Cameras communicate with video management systems over Real Time Streaming Protocol. Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the default setting.
• RTP/TCP – The Real-time Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is best suited for applications that require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical.
• RTP/UDP – The Real-time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol is used for live unicast video, especially when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images are dropped.
• HTTP – The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, hypermedia information systems.
• DHCP – The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally manage and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server.
• TFTP – The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a simple, lock-step, File Transfer Protocol which allows a client to get from or put a file onto a remote host. TFTP lacks security and most of the advanced features offered by more robust file transfer protocols such as File Transfer Protocol.
• QoS – Quality of Service guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use.
• IPv4 – The IPv4 (IP version 4) is enabled by default and obtains the IP address automatically. The address can be used to allow or block network traffic that matches a specified address or protocol. The IP address must be valid for the network. For more information, contact your network administrator.
• IPv6 – A typical IPv6 (IP version 6) node address consists of a prefix and an interface identifier (total 128 bits). The prefix is the part of the address where the bits have fixed values or are the bits that define a subnet. A typical IPv6 address may resemble the following example: 2001:db8::52:1:1. The IP address must be valid for the network. Before making changes to the IPv6 address, consult with your network administrator.

4.2 Modifying the IP Address

To operate the camera in your network you must assign it a valid network IP address. The default IP address is 192.168.1.108, but you may have to change this address if it conflicts with another device on the network.

To properly configure the camera for your network, you need the following information:

• Camera IP address – This address is an identifier for the camera on an IP network. For example, 140.11.2.115 is valid syntax for an IP address.
• Subnet mask – A mask is used to determine the subnet an IP address belongs to.
• Gateway IP address – This address is a node on a network that serves as an entrance to another network.
• Port – A port is an endpoint to a logical connection in an IP network.

Dahua supplies the ConfigTool to access and to modify the network settings of a device. Refer to the Operation Manual, available on the CD included with the camera or on Dahuasecurity.com, for complete information.

Notes:

• Ensure that the network parameters of each camera is available before starting configuration.
• The ConfigTool supports those cameras that are part of the same network that as the computer running the ConfigTool.

4.3 Using the ConfigTool

1. Install the ConfigTools.exe on a computer.
2. Adjust the computer's network settings so that it is on the same network as the camera.
3. Launch the ConfigTool to generate a list of devices on the network.
