1 Introduction

1.1 Introduction

ITALE-160BA is an LED illuminator, integrating strobe, continuous light and flashlight. The unique optical design makes it capable of oriented illumination at night, which greatly reduces light pollution of city road and improves traffic safety. The Illuminator supports video and image illumination, meanwhile, integrates camera maintenance. It is generally used as night illuminator for E-Police or ANPR enforcement camera to propel the modernization management of road and city traffic.

For structure and hardware, the Illuminator adopts ITC special design to greatly improve product life and work efficiency. Same as that, heat from the Illuminator dissipating through modular radiation unit is also specially designed to ensure heat dispersion, stability and safety.

1.2 Features

- Integrated Functions The Illuminator integrates imported high performance LED strobe and flashlight together. Cold light and warm light are optional.

- Oriented Illumination The Illuminator adopts special optical design. With optical grating type, it can highly polymerize light beam to illuminate single lane, which reduces light pollution in non-illumination area greatly.

- Low Cost Maintenance The Illuminator supports linking cameras (Dahua traffic cameras only) through RS-485, displaying illuminator status and more information. Covering 3 lanes of illumination (multiple lane type) can greatly reduce the needed Illuminator number, therefore reduce maintenance cost.

- Video Synchronization The LED strobe synchronizes the camera video to perform better illumination effect on plate.

- Capture Synchronization The LED flashlight synchronizes the camera capture to perform better illumination effect on human face inside car window and details.

- Adjustable Brightness You can adjust the LED strobe brightness (wide range) on camera web page.

- Adjustable Pulse Width You can configure the pulse width of the flashlight as 0 ms–3 ms and the strobe as 0 ms–5 ms on camera web page.

- Adjustable Frequency You can configure flashlight frequency on camera web page.

- Flash Interval No more than 10 ms flash interval meets the traffic camera requirement for continuous capture.

- Trigger Mode

The Illuminator supports low electrical level and pulse width triggering.

- Flashlight Duration You can calculate the device product life through the duration of the flashlight shines.

- Flash Counting You can quickly locate the signal interference on site through counting the times of the Illuminator flashes and being triggered (times of external signal input).

- Anti-interference The Illuminator filters the detected pulse width (below the configured threshold) to ensure the device works properly and improve reliability.

- False Triggering Shield To ensure that the device works properly and prolong product life, it supports shielding false triggering interference (you can configure the threshold for false triggering. When external signal input exceeds the threshold, the Illuminator enters protection mode, during which it will respond to the next triggering signal after 10 s. Default value is 3, meaning that 3 flashes are allowed during 500 ms, 4 flashes during 1 s and 8 flashes during 3 s).

- Error Display You can view the normal or abnormal status of the Illuminator on the camera web page remotely (Dahua traffic cameras only).

- Creative Structure Streamline design, simple appearance and high saturation greatly improve the protection level (waterproof and dust-free). The inside heat dissipation design prevents the Illuminator from overheating damage effectively.

Appendix 1 Cybersecurity Recommendations

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.
