6 Cluster Service
The cluster function, also known as cluster redundancy, is a kind of deployment method that can
improve the reliability of device. In the cluster system, there are main devices and sub devices (the
N+M mode), and they have a virtual IP address (the cluster IP) for unied login and management.
Under normal circumstances, the main devices are in the working state. When the main device fails,
the corresponding sub device will take over the job automatically. When the main device recovers,
the sub device will transmit the conguration data, cluster IP address and videos and pictures
recorded during the failure to the main device which then takes over the job again.
In the N+M cluster system, there is a management server, the DCS (Dispatching Console) server,
which is responsible for timely and correct scheduling management of the main and sub devices.
When you create a cluster, the current EVS is used as the rst sub device and the DCS server by
default.
Cluster service is only supported within the same network segment.
6.1 Conguring Cluster
Conguring cluster includes creating cluster, viewing cluster information, restoring main device,
and setting arbitrage IP.
6.1.1 Creating a Cluster
Creating a cluster is to add multiple devices into a cluster that requires the addition of main and
sub devices and the conguration of cluster IP.
When you create a cluster, the current device is taken as the rst sub device and the DCS server by
default, and the priority of the other sub devices is determined by the order in which they are
added, with the rst sub device being the highest priority.
Procedure

Figure 7-1 Edit Ethernet network
Table 7-1 NIC parameters description
Parameter Description
Rate (Mbps)
The maximum network transmission speed that the current NIC
supports.
Type Select IPv4 or IPv6.
Mode
●
DHCP : When there is a DHCP server on the network, you can enable
DHCP. The system allocates a dynamic IP address to the Device. There
is no need to set IP address manually.
●
Static : You need to enter the IP address, subnet mask and gateway.
Test Test whether the IP address is valid.
MTU
Set NIC MTU value. The default setup is 1500 bytes.
We recommend you check the MTU value of the gateway rst and then
set the MTU value of the Device equal to or smaller than the gateway
value, which helps to reduce the packets slightly and enhance network
transmission eciency.
Please be advised that changing MTU value might result in NIC restart,
network oine and aect current running operation.
Step 6 Click OK.
Step 7 Set DNS server information.
This step is compulsive if you want to use domain service.
●

●
Select Static and then enter the preferred and alternate DNS addresses.
Step 8 Set the default NIC.
Make sure that the default NIC is online.
Step 9 Click Apply.
7.1.1.2 Port Aggregation
Bind multiple NICs to create one logic NIC and use one IP address for peripheral devices. The
working mode of bonded NICs work is dependent on the aggregation mode. Port aggregation
enhances network bandwidth and network reliability.
The system supports 3 aggregation modes: load balance, fault tolerance, and link aggregation.
Table 7-2 Aggregation mode description
Aggregation mode Description
Load balance
The Device bonds several NICs at the same time and use one IP address
to communicate with other devices. The bonded NICs are working
together to bear the network load.
The load balance mode adds the network throughput data amount and
enhances network exibility and availability. In this mode, the network is
oine when all NICs break down.
Make sure that the switch supports link aggregation and you have
congured the static aggregation. It will take eect when the forwarding
policy is congured as IP+PORT forwarding and aggregation mode as
load balance.
Fault tolerance
The Device bonds several NICs and use one NIC as the main card and the
rest as standby. Usually, only the main NIC card is working. The other
standby cards automatically take over the job when the main card
breaks down.
This mode enhances NIC reliability. In this mode, the network is oine
when all NICs break down.
Link aggregation
The Device bonds several NICs and all NICs are working together to
share the network load. The system allocates data to each NIC according
to your allocation strategy. Once the system detects that one NIC breaks
down, it stops sending data through this NIC, and transmits the data
among the rest NICs. The system calculates transmission data again after
the malfunctioning NIC resumes work.
In this mode, the network is oine when all bonded NICs break down.
Make sure that the switch supports link aggregation and you have
congured the LCP type dynamic link aggregation, the link aggregation
takes eect when conguring the mode.

Appendix 3 RAID
RAID is an abbreviation for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is to combine several
independent HDDs (physical HDD) to form a HDD group (logic HDD).
Comparing with one HDD, RAID provides more storage capacity and data redundancy. The
dierent redundant arrays have dierent RAID level. Each RAID level has its own data protection,
data availability and performance degree.
RAID Level
RAID Level Description Min. HDD Needed
RAID0
RAID 0 is called striping.
RAID 0 is to save the continued data
fragmentation on several HDDs. It can process the
read and write at the same time, so its read/write
speed is N (N refers to the HDD amount of the
RAID 0) times as many as one HDD. RAID 0 does
not have data redundant, so one HDD damage
might result in data loss that cannot be restored.
2
RAID1
It is also called mirror or mirroring.
RAID 1 data is written to two HDDs equally, which
guarantee the system reliability and can be
repaired. RAID 1 read speed is almost close to the
total volume of all HDDs. The write speed is
limited by the slowest HDD. At the same time, the
RAID 1 has the lowest HDD usage rate. It is only
50%.
RAID5
RAID5 is to save the data and the corresponding
odd/even verication information to each HDD of
the RAID5 group and save the verication
information and corresponding data to dierent
HDDs. When one HDD of the RAID5 is damaged,
system can use the rest data and corresponding
verication information to restore the damaged
data. It does not aect data integrity.
3
RAID6
Based on the RAID5, RAID6 adds one odd/even
verication HDD. The two independent odd/even
systems adopt dierent algorithm, the data
reliability is very high. Even two HDDs are broken
at the same time, there is no data loss risk.
Comparing to RAID5, the RAID6 needs to allocate
larger HDD space for odd/even verication
information, so its read/write is even worse.
4
RAID10
RAID 10 is a combination of the RAID 1 and RAID 0.
It uses the extra high speed ecient of the RAID 0
and high data protection and restores capability of

Appendix 4 HDD Capacity Calculation
HDD capacity calculation formula:
Total capacity (M) = Channel number × Demand time length (hour) × HDD capacity occupied per
hour (M/hour)
According to the above formula, get recording time calculation formula.
Recording time (hour) =
For example, for single-channel recording, HDD capacity occupied per hour is 200 M/hour. Use 4-
channel device to make 24-hour continuous recording in every day of one month (30 days), the
required HDD space is: 4 channels × 30 days × 24 hours × 200 M/hour = 576 G. Therefore, ve 120 G
HDD or four 160 G HDD shall be installed.
According to the above formula, at dierent stream values, recording le size of 1 channel in 1 hour
is shown as follows (for your reference):

Appendix 6 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 device 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 device
(such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) rmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped
with the latest security patches and xes. When the device is connected to the public
network, it is recommended to enable the “auto-check for updates” function to obtain timely
information of rmware 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 device network security:
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to device, especially storage devices. For
example, place the device 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 device (such as USB ash 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 device 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.
User's Manual

7. MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing
the risk of ARP spoong.
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 o 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 eciency.
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 device 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 device, 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 device 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 eect.
●
Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access
to private networks.
●
Enable IP/MAC address ltering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
device.
