8.1 Configuring IVS
This section introduces the requirements of scene selection, global configuration and rule
configuration.
Requirements of scene selection:
●
The target should occupy no more than 10% of the whole image.
●
The pixel of the target should be no less than 10×10; the pixel of abandoned object should be no
less than 15×15 (CIF image); the width and height of the target should be no more than 1/3 that
of the image; it is recommended that the height of the target should be set to 10% of the image
height.
●

Try to reduce the scene complexity as much as condition allowed; it is not recommended to use
Intelligence Behavior Analysis in scenes with intensive targets, changing lighting conditions or
small difference between target temperature and scene temperature.
●
For thermal channel, try not to monitor scenes with glass. For visual channel, try not to monitor:
scenes with reflective surfaces such as glass, bright ground or water; scenes that disturbed by
tree branches, shadows or winged insects; scenes that against light or under direct light
exposure. Control image proportion of objects that are with high relative ambient temperature.

●
During the detection of abandoned object, the alarm is also
triggered if pedestrian or vehicle stays for a long time. If the
abandoned object is smaller than pedestrian and vehicle, set
the target size to filter pedestrian and vehicle or properly
extend the duration to avoid false alarm triggered by transient
staying of pedestrian.
●
During the detection of crowd gathering, false alarm might be
triggered by low installation height, large percentage of single
person in an image or obvious target occlusion, continuous
shaking of the camera, shaking of leaves and tree shade,
frequent opening or closing of retractable door, or dense traffic
or people flow.
Step 6 (Optional) Click other icons at the right side of the image to filter targets in the image.

triggered when the system detects that vehicle triggers the rule.
Duration
●
For abandoned object, the duration is the shortest time for
triggering an alarm after an object is abandoned.
●
For missing object, the duration is the shortest time for triggering
an alarm after an object is missing.
●
For parking detection, crowd gathering, or loitering detection,
the duration is the shortest time for triggering an alarm after an
object appears in the area.
Sensitivity
●
For fast moving, sensitivity is related to the triggering speed.
Lower sensitivity requires faster moving speed to trigger the
alarm.
●
For crowd gathering, sensitivity is related to the alarm triggering
time. It is easier to trigger the alarm with higher sensitivity.

Appendix 1 Cybersecurity Recommendations
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.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped with
the latest security patches and fixes. 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 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 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 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 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.
7.
MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing
140
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 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 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.
