Important Safeguards and Warnings

Electrical Safety
● All installation and operation shall conform to your local electrical safety codes.
● Use power supply that meets ES1 but does not exceed PS2 limits defined in IEC 62368-1. For
specific power supply requirements, refer to device labels.
● Make sure that the power supply is correct before operating the device.
● A readily accessible disconnecting device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.
● Prevent the power cable from being trampled or pressed, especially the plug, power socket and
the junction extruded from the device.

Environment
● Do not aim the device at strong light to focus, such as lamp light and sun light; otherwise it might
cause over brightness or light marks, which are not the device malfunction, and affect the
longevity of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS).
● Do not place the device in a damp, dusty, extremely hot or cold environment, or the locations
with strong electromagnetic radiation or unstable lighting.
● Keep the device away from any liquid to avoid damage to the internal components.
● Keep the indoor device away from rain or damp to avoid fire or lightning.
● Keep sound ventilation to avoid heat accumulation.
● Transport, use and store the device within the range of allowed humidity and temperature.
● Heavy stress, violent vibration or water splash are not allowed during transportation, storage and
installation.
● Pack the device with standard factory packaging or the equivalent material when transporting
the device.
● Install the device in the location where only the professional staff with relevant knowledge of
safety guards and warnings can access. The accidental injury might happen to the
non-professionals who enter the installation area when the device is operating normally.

Operation and Daily Maintenance

● Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid scald.
● Carefully follow the instructions in the manual when performing any disassembly operation
about the device; otherwise, it might cause water leakage or poor image quality due to
unprofessional disassembly. Please contact after-sale service for desiccant replacement if there is
condensed fog on the lens after unpacking or when the desiccant turns green. (Not all models
are included with the desiccant).
● It is recommended to use the device together with lightning arrester to improve lightning
protection effect.
● It is recommended to ground the device to enhance reliability.
● Do not touch the image sensor (CMOS) directly. Dust and dirt could be removed with air blower,
or you can wipe the lens gently with soft cloth that is moistened with alcohol.
● You can clean the device body with soft dry cloth, and for stubborn stains, use the cloth with

III
 Operation Manual
mild detergent. To avoid possible damage on device body coating which could cause
performance to decrease, do not use volatile solvent such as alcohol, benzene, diluent and so on
to clean the device body, nor can strong, abrasive detergent be used.
● Dome cover is an optical component. Do not touch or wipe the cover with your hands directly
during installation or operation. For removing dust, grease or fingerprints, wipe gently with
moistened oil-free cotton with diethyl or moisten soft cloth. You can also remove dust with an air
blower.

● Strengthen the protection of network, device data and personal information by adopting
measures which include but not limited to using strong password, changing password regularly,
upgrading firmware to the latest version, and isolating computer network. For some device with
old firmware versions, the ONVIF password will not be modified automatically along with the
modification of the system password, and you need to upgrade the firmware or manually update
the ONVIF password.
● Use standard components or accessories provided by manufacturer and make sure that the
device is installed and maintained by professional engineers.
● The surface of the image sensor should not be exposed to laser beam radiation in an
environment where a laser beam device is used.
● Do not provide two or more power supply sources for the device unless otherwise specified. A
failure to follow this instruction might cause damage to the device.

8.4 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 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.

8.4.1 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.

120
 Operation Manual

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
1. Select AI > Smart Plan.
2. Click next to IVS to enable IVS of the corresponding channel, and then click Next.

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 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

183
 Operation Manual
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.

184
 Operation Manual
● Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
device.
