Ground the function earthing portion of the device to improve its reliability (certain models
are not equipped with earthing holes). The device is a class I electrical appliance. Make sure that
the power supply of the device is connected to a power socket with protective earthing.
●
The dome cover is an optical component. Do not directly touch or wipe the surface of the cover
during installation.
Operation Requirements
●
The cover must not be opened while the device is powered on.
●
Do not touch the heat dissipation component of the device to avoid the risk of getting burnt.
●
Use the device under allowed humidity and temperature conditions.
●
Do not aim the device at strong light sources (such as lamplight, and sunlight) when focusing it,
to avoid reducing the lifespan of the CMOS sensor, and causing overbrightness and flickering.
●
When using a laser beam device, avoid exposing the device surface to laser beam radiation.
●
Prevent liquid from flowing into the device to avoid damage to its internal components.
●
Protect indoor devices from rain and dampness to avoid electric shocks and fires breaking out.
●
Do not block the ventilation opening near the device to avoid heat accumulation.
●
Protect the line cord and wires from being walked on or squeezed particularly at plugs, power
sockets, and the point where they exit from the device.
●
Do not directly touch the photosensitive CMOS. Use an air blower to clean the dust or dirt on the
lens.
●
The dome cover is an optical component. Do not directly touch or wipe the surface of the cover
when using it.
●
There might be a risk of electrostatic discharge on the dome cover. Power off the device when
installing the cover after the camera finishes adjustment. Do not directly touch the cover and
make sure the cover is not exposed to other equipment or human bodies
●
Strengthen the protection of the network, device data and personal information. All necessary
safety measures to ensure the network security of the device must be taken, such as using strong
passwords, regularly changing your password, updating firmware to the latest version, and
isolating computer networks. For the IPC firmware of some previous versions, the ONVIF
password will not be automatically synchronized after the main password of the system has been
changed. You need to update the firmware or change the password manually.
Maintenance Requirements
●
Strictly follow the instructions to disassemble the device. Non-professionals dismantling the
device can result in it leaking water or producing poor quality images. For a device that is
required to be disassembled before use, make sure the seal ring is flat and in the seal groove
when putting the cover back on. When you find condensed water forming on the lens or the
desiccant becomes green after you disassembled the device, contact after-sales service to
replace the desiccant. Desiccants might not be provided depending on the actual model.
Operation Manual

●
Use the accessories suggested by the manufacturer. Installation and maintenance must be
performed by qualified professionals.
●
Do not directly touch the photosensitive CMOS. Use an air blower to clean the dust or dirt on the
lens. When it is necessary to clean the device, slightly wet a soft cloth with alcohol, and gently
wipe away the dirt.
●
Clean the device body with a soft dry cloth. If there are any stubborn stains, clean them away
with a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent, and then wipe the surface dry. Do not use volatile
solvents such as ethyl alcohol, benzene, diluent, or abrasive detergents on the device to avoid
damaging the coating and degrading the performance of the device.
●
The dome cover is an optical component. When it is contaminated with dust, grease, or
fingerprints, use degreasing cotton moistened with a little ether or a clean soft cloth dipped in
water to gently wipe it clean. An air gun is useful for blowing dust away.
●
It is normal for a camera made of stainless steel to develop rust on its surface after being used in
a strong corrosive environment (such as the seaside, and chemical plants). Use an abrasive soft
cloth moistened with a little acid solution (vinegar is recommended) to gently wipe it away.
Afterwards, wipe it dry.

5.8 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 less 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.
5.8.1 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
Operation Manual
148
corresponding actual distance.
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.

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

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 from Dahua 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.
Operation Manual
219
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 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.
Operation Manual
220
●
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.
