 Appendix 1 Security Recommendation
Account Management

1. Use complex 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: 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 repeating characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.

2. Change passwords periodically

It is recommended to periodically change the device password to reduce the risk of being
guessed or cracked.
3. Allocate accounts and permissions appropriately
Appropriately add users based on service and management requirements and assign minimum
permission sets to users.
4. Enable account lockout function
The account lockout function is enabled by default. You are advised to keep it enabled to
protect account security. After multiple failed password attempts, the corresponding account
and source IP address will be locked.
5. Set and update password reset information in a timely manner
The device supports password reset function. To reduce the risk of this function being used by
threat actors, if there is any change in the information, please modify it in time. When setting
security questions, it is recommended not to use easily guessed answers.

Service Configuration

1. Enable HTTPS
It is recommended that you enable HTTPS to access web services through secure channels.
2. Encrypted transmission of audio and video
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, it is recommended to use
encrypted transmission function in order to reduce the risk of your audio and video data being
eavesdropped during transmission.
3. Turn off non-essential services and use safe mode
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SSH, SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, AP
hotspot etc., to reduce the attack surfaces.
If necessary, it is highly recommended to choose safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
● SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption and authentication passwords.
● SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
● FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up complex passwords.
● AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up complex passwords.

4. Change HTTP and other default service ports

It is recommended that you change the default port of HTTP and other services to any port
between 1024 and 65535 to reduce the risk of being guessed by threat actors.

30
Network Configuration

1. Enable Allowlist
It is recommended that you turn on the allowlist function, and only allow IP in the allow list to
access the device. Therefore, please be sure to add your computer IP address and supporting
device IP address to the allowlist.
2. MAC address binding
It is recommended that you bind the IP address of the gateway to the MAC address on the
device to reduce the risk of ARP spoofing.
3. Build a secure network environment
In order to better ensure the security of devices and reduce potential cyber risks, the following
are recommended:
● Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network;
● According to the actual network needs, partition the network: if there is no communication
demand between the two subnets, it is recommended to use VLAN, gateway and other
methods to partition the network to achieve network isolation;
● Stablish 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of illegal terminal access to
the private network.

Security Auditing

1. Check online users

It is recommended to check online users regularly to identify illegal users.
2. Check device log
By viewing logs, you can learn about the IP addresses that attempt to log in to the device and
key operations of the logged users.
3. Configure network log
Due to the limited storage capacity of devices, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the
log for a long time, it is recommended to enable the network log function to ensure that the
critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.

Software Security

1. Update firmware in time

According to the industry standard operating specifications, the firmware of devices needs to be
