Enable the main power switch on the vehicle, place the key in the OFF state, and then measure
the normal live electricity of the vehicle.
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the fuse by switching to the DC voltage range.
When the multimeter detects voltage, it measures the normal live electricity on the vehicle.
Generally, the voltage is 24V DC for large vehicles and 12V DC for small vehicles. However, this
is subject to actual data.
When the vehicle key is placed at the ACC state or the ON state, the ACC signal of the vehicle
is measured.
Use a multimeter to measure the voltage on the fuse by switching to the DC voltage range.
When the multimeter detects voltage, remove the car key. If the voltage changes to 0V, it
means that the measured signal is ACC on the car.
Turn off the main power switch on the vehicle, and place key in the OFF state.
Connect the power cable according to the main power switch installation mode. See Figure
2-14 and Figure 2-15.

Storage Capacity Calculation
When the device is installed for the first time, make sure the HDD (or TF card) is installed.
Capacity calculation formula:
Total capacity (M) = Channel quantity × Demand time length (hour) × storage capacity occupied per
hour (M/hour)
Recording time calculation formula:
Recording time (hour) = Total capacity (M)
Storage capacity occupied per hour (M/hour) × Channel quantity
The device adopts H.264/H.265 compression technology, which features a large dynamic range.
Therefore, when calculating HDD capacity, you should accord to the bit rate to evaluate the file size
generated per hour from each channel.
108
Cybersecurity Recommendations
The necessary measures to ensure the basic cyber security of the platform:
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. Customize the Answer to the Security Question
The security question setting should ensure the difference of answers, choose different
questions and customize different answers (all questions are prohibited from being set to the
same answer) to reduce the risk of security question being guessed or cracked.
Recommendation measures to enhance platform cyber security:
1. Enable Account Binding IP/MAC
It is recommended to enable the account binding IP/MAC mechanism, and configure the
IP/MAC of the terminal where the commonly used client is located as a whitelist to further
improve access security.
2. Change Password Regularly
We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed or cracked.
3. Turn On Account Lock Mechanism
The account lock function is enabled by default at the factory, and it is recommended to keep it
on to protect the security of your account. After the attacker has failed multiple password
attempts, the corresponding account and source IP will be locked.
4. Reasonable Allocation of Accounts and Permissions
According to business and management needs, reasonably add new users, and reasonably
allocate a minimum set of permissions for them.
5. Close Non-essential Services and Restrict the Open Form of Essential Services
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off NetBIOS (port 137, 138, 139), SMB (port 445),
remote desktop (port 3389) and other services under Windows, and Telnet (port 23) and SSH
(port 22) under Linux. At the same time, close the database port to the outside or only open to a
specific IP address, such as MySQL (port 3306), to reduce the risks faced by the platform.
6. Patch the Operating System/Third Party Components
It is recommended to regularly detect security vulnerabilities in the operating system and third-
party components, and apply official patches in time.
7. Security Audit
Check online users: It is recommended to check online users irregularly to identify whether
there are illegal users logging in.
View the platform log: By viewing the log, you can get the IP information of the attempt to
log in to the platform and the key operation information of the logged-in user.
109
8. The Establishment of a Secure Network Environment
In order to better protect the security of the platform and reduce cyber security risks, it is
recommended that:
Follow the principle of minimization, restrict the ports that the platform maps externally by
firewalls or routers, and only map ports that are necessary for services.
Based on actual network requirements, separate networks: if there is no communication
requirement between the two subnets, it is recommended to use VLAN, gatekeeper, etc. to
divide the network to achieve the effect of network isolation.
