- Strengthen the protection of the network, device data and personal information. All necessary safety measures to ensure the network security of the device must be taken, such as using strong passwords, regularly changing your password, updating firmware to the latest version, and isolating computer networks. For the IPC firmware of some previous versions, the ONVIF password will not be automatically synchronized after the main password of the system has been changed. You need to update the firmware or change the password manually.
Maintenance Requirements

- Strictly follow the instructions to disassemble the device. Non-professionals dismantling the device can result in it leaking water or producing poor quality images. For a device that is required to be disassembled before use, make sure the seal ring is flat and in the seal groove when putting the cover back on. When you find condensed water forming on the lens or the desiccant becomes green after you disassembled the device, contact after-sales service to replace the desiccant. Desiccants might not be provided depending on the actual model.
- Use the accessories suggested by the manufacturer. Installation and maintenance must be performed by qualified professionals.
- Do not directly touch the photosensitive CMOS. Use an air blower to clean the dust or dirt on the lens. When it is necessary to clean the device, slightly wet a soft cloth with alcohol, and gently wipe away the dirt.
- Clean the device body with a soft dry cloth. If there are any stubborn stains, clean them away with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent, and then wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile solvents such as ethyl alcohol, benzene, diluent, or abrasive detergents on the device to avoid damaging the coating and degrading the performance of the device.
- The dome cover is an optical component. When it is contaminated with dust, grease, or fingerprints, use degreasing cotton moistened with a little ether or a clean soft cloth dipped in water to gently wipe it clean. An air gun is useful for blowing dust away.
- It is normal for a camera made of stainless steel to develop rust on its surface after being used in a strong corrosive environment (such as the seaside, and chemical plants). Use an abrasive soft cloth moistened with a little acid solution (vinegar is recommended) to gently wipe it away. Afterwards, wipe it dry.

4.5.1 Camera Conditions
Configure camera parameters of the camera to ensure surveillance goes properly.
4.5.1.1 Conditions
Configure camera parameters according to the actual situation, including picture, exposure, backlight and white balance.
4.5.1.1.1 Interface Layout
Configure camera parameters to improve the scene clarity, and ensure that surveillance goes properly. See Figure 4-32.
- Under profile, you can select between 9 different styles, such as normal, day, night or flowing light mode. Parameters (such as contrast and saturation) will change to match the style. You can also further modify the configurations for select modes (such as picture, exposure and backlight) after changing the main style. Flowing light is suitable for situations where there is slight light, and the panoramic function is unable to effectively detect targets.

After switching to flowing light, the mode in the exposure menu is automatically set to manual. The shutter time is adaptive, working at a maximum speed of 333 ms.
By default the backlight is off. The wide dynamic effect start or not can be determined by identifying the overexposure in the picture. This gives you control over overexposure in the picture.
- Camera with PTZ function supports zoom, focus and iris operations. See Figure 4-33. Configure speed, click direction button, ⏻ and ⭕ to adjust the direction, zoom, focus and iris and so on, to adjust the camera to the proper position.

| Parameter | Description |
| Style | Select the picture style from soft, standard and vivid.● Soft: Default image style, displays the actual color of the image.● Standard: The hue of the image is weaker than the actual one, and contrast is smaller.● Vivid: The image is more vivid than the actual one. |
| Brightness | Change the value to adjust the picture brightness. The higher the value is, the brighter the picture will be, and the smaller the darker. The picture might be hazy if the value is configured too big. |
| Contrast | Change the contrast of the picture. The higher the value is, the more the contrast will be between bright and dark areas, and the smaller the less. If the value is set too big, the dark area would be too dark and bright area easier to get overexposed. The picture might be hazy if the value is set too small. |
| Saturation | Make the color deeper or lighter. The higher the value is, the deeper the color will be, and the lower the lighter. Saturation value does not change image brightness. |
| Sharpness | Changes the sharpness of picture edges. The higher the value is, the clearer the picture edges will be, and if the value is set too big, picture noises are more likely to appear. |
| Gamma | Changes the picture brightness and improves the picture dynamic range in a non-linear way. The higher the value is, the brighter the picture will be, and the smaller the darker. |
| Mirror | Select On, and the picture would display with left and right side reversed. |
| Flip | Changes the display direction of the picture, see the options below.0°: Normal display.90°: The picture rotates 90° clockwise.180°: The picture rotates 90° counterclockwise.270°: The picture flips upside down.For some models, please set the resolution to be 1080p or lower when using 90° and 180°. For details, see "4.5.2.1 Video". |
| EIS | Corrects the device shaking with difference comparison algorithm and improves the image clarity, effectively solves the picture shaking problem. |
| Optical Dejitering | The lens vibration is sensed by the gyroscope sensor, and the corresponding compensation is calculated using the intelligent anti-shake algorithm. The movable parts inside the lens are driven to offset the vibration, which greatly reduces blurring of the image caused by the vibration. |
| Picture Freeze | When you call a preset, the image displays the preset location, not the rotation image. |

5.8 Setting IVS
This section introduces scene selection requirements, rule configuration, and global configuration for IVS (intelligent video surveillance).
Basic requirements on scene selection are as follows.
- The target should occupy no more than 10% of the whole image.
- The target size in the image should be no more than 10 × 10 pixels. The size of abandoned object in the image should be no less than 15 × 15 pixels (CIF image). The target height and width should no more less than a third of the image height and width. The recommended target height is 10% of the image height.
- The brightness difference of the target and the background should be no less than 10 gray levels.
- The target should be continuously present in the image for no less than two seconds, and the moving distance of the target should be larger than its width and no less than 15 pixels (CIF image) at the same time.
- Reduce the complexity of surveillance scene as much as you can. Intelligent analysis functions are not recommended to be used in scene with dense targets and frequent illumination change.
- Avoid areas such as glass, reflective ground, water surface, and areas interfered by branch, shadow and mosquito. Avoid backlight scene and direct light.
5.8.1 Global Configuration
Set global rules for IVS, including anti-disturb, depth of field calibration, and valid motion parameter for targets.
Calibration Purpose
Determine corresponding relationship between 2D image captured by the camera and 3D actual object according to one horizontal ruler and three vertical rulers calibrated by the user and the corresponding actual distance.
Applicable Scene
- Medium or distant view with installation height of more than three meters. Scenes with parallel view or ceiling-mounted are not supported.
- Calibrate horizontal plane, not vertical walls or sloping surfaces.
- This function is not applicable to scenes with distorted view, such as the distorted views captured by super wide-angle or fisheye camera.
Notes
- Calibration Drawing
◇ Calibration area: The calibration area drawn should be on one horizontal plane.
- Vertical ruler: The bottom of three vertical rulers should be on the same horizontal plane. Select three reference objects with fixed height in triangular distribution as vertical rulers, such as vehicle parked at roadside or road lamp poles. Arrange three persons to draw at each of the three positions in the monitoring scene.
Horizontal ruler: Select reference object with known length on the ground, such as sign on the road, or use a tape to measure the actual length.
- Calibration Verification
After setting the ruler, draw a straight line on the image, check the estimated value of the straight line, and then compare this value with the value measured in the actual scene to verify calibration accuracy. In case of major difference between the estimated value and the actual one, fine-tune or reset parameters until the error requirement is met.
Procedure
- Select Setting > Event > IVS > Global Setup.

| Intrusion | When the target enters, leaves, or appears in the detection area, the system performs alarm linkages. | |
| Abandoned object | When an object is abandoned in the detection area over the set time, the system performs alarm linkages. | Scenes with sparse targets and without obvious and frequent light change. Simple scene in the detection area is recommended.Missed alarms might increase in the scenes with dense targets, frequent occlusion, and people staying.In scenes with complex foreground and background, false alarm might be triggered for abandoned or missing object. |
| Missing object | When an object is taken out of the detection area over the defined time, the system performs alarm linkages. | Scenes with sparse targets and without obvious and frequent light change. Simple scene in the detection area is recommended.Missed alarm might increase in the scenes with dense targets, frequent occlusion, and people staying.In scenes with complex foreground and background, false alarm might be triggered for abandoned or missing object. |
| Fast moving | When the motion speed is higher than the configured speed, the system performs alarm linkages. | Scene with sparse targets and less occlusion. The camera should be installed right above the monitoring area. The light direction should be vertical to the motion direction. |
| Parking detection | When the target stays over the configured time, the system performs alarm linkages. | Road monitoring and traffic management. |

Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it's something that pertains to every device that is connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations from Dahua on how to create a more secured security system.
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 equipment 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.
