Only use the power adapter supplied with your device.
Use a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing (grounding) connection.
Ground your device properly if the device is intended to be grounded.
Battery Safety
Please use batteries properly; otherwise, there is a risk of fire or explosion.
Warning: Using incorrect battery models can lead to explosion.
If you need to replace the battery, it is recommended that you go to an authorized service center or
have it replaced under professional supervision. We shall not be held responsible for any issues
arising from unauthorized battery replacement.
When replacing the battery, be sure to use a battery of the same type as the original! Using the wrong
model for replacement (such as certain types of lithium batteries) may cause safety protection to fail.
Batteries must not be exposed to overheat environments such as sunlight, fire, as this may lead to fire,
explosion, or combustion.
Do not dispose of batteries in fire or heating appliances. Do not squeeze, bend, or cut batteries, as it
may cause explosion.
Do not expose batteries to extremely high or low temperatures, or to very low-pressure environments,
as this may cause explosion or leakage of flammable liquid/gas.
Dispose of the used battery according to your local regulations or the battery manufacturer's
instructions.
For products or the included remote control containing a button cell battery: Do not ingest the battery
- chemical burn hazard! If swallowed, a button cell battery can cause severe internal burns within 2
hours and may be fatal. Precautions (including but not limited to):
Keep new and used batteries away from children.
Stop using the product and keep it away from children if the battery compartment is not securely

Network Security
Please take all necessary measures to enhance network security for your device.
The following are necessary measures for the network security of your device:
Change default password and set strong password: You are strongly recommended to change the
default password after your first login and set a strong password of at least nine characters including
all three elements: digits, letters and special characters.
Do not include the account name or the reverse of the account name.
Avoid using consecutive characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
Do not use overlapping characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.
Keep firmware up to date: It is recommended that your device is always upgraded to the latest version
for the latest functions and better security. Visit Uniview's official website or contact your local dealer
for the latest firmware.
The following are recommendations for enhancing network security of your device:
Change password regularly: Change your device password on a regular basis and keep the password
safe. Make sure only the authorized user can log in to the device.
Enable HTTPS/SSL: Use SSL certificate to encrypt HTTP communications and ensure data security.
Enable IP address filtering: Allow access only from the specified IP addresses.
Minimum port mapping: Configure your router or firewall to open a minimum set of ports to the WAN
and keep only the necessary port mappings. Never set the device as the DMZ host or configure a full
con e NAT.
Disable the automatic login and save password features: If multiple users have access to your
computer, it is recommended that you disable these features to prevent unauthorized access.
5
Choose username and password discretely: Avoid using the username and password of your social
media, bank, email account, etc., as the username and password of your device, in case your social
media, bank and email account information is leaked.
Restrict user permissions: If more than one user needs access to your system, make sure each user is
granted only the necessary permissions.
Disable UPnP: When UPnP is enabled, the router will automatically map internal ports, and the system
will automatically forward port data, which results in the risks of data leakage. Therefore, it is
recommended to disable UPnP if HTTP and TCP port mapping have been enabled manually on your
router.
Multicast: Multicast is intended to transmit video to multiple devices. If you do not use this function,
it is recommended you disable multicast on your network.
Check logs: Check your device logs regularly to detect unauthorized access or abnormal operations.
Isolate video surveillance network: Isolating your video surveillance network with other service
networks helps prevent unauthorized access to devices in your security system from other service
networks.
Physical protection: Keep the device in a locked room or cabinet to prevent unauthorized physical
access.
SNMP: Disable SNMP if you do not use it. If you do use it, then SNMPv3 is recommended.

3.2 Installation Steps
NOTE!
•
The card reader needs to be installed with a 86*86mm/115*73mm junction box (both prepared
or purchased by user). Please cho
ose appropriate accessories according to the actual
installation environment.
•
The installation methods of card readers with or without keypad are the same. The following
takes the installation of the card reader with keypad as an example.
• The following figures are for reference only. The installation methods may vary with scenarios.
1. Determine the position of the 86mm/115mm junction box.
Use the existing 86mm/115mm junction box embedded in the wall or drill a hole to embed
one. The two installation holes on the 86mm junction box should be horizontal. The two
installation holes on the 115mm junction box should be vertical.
2. Secure the bracket.
(1) Place the bracket with the protruding side facing outward, aligning the two central holes
with the holes on the 86mm junction box (align the top and bottom holes with the holes
on the 115mm junction box).
(2) Secure the bracket to the 86mm junction box (or 115mm junction box) with two M4*35
(6#-32-16) cross-recessed flat head screws.
86mm junction box
115mm junction box
3. Connect the tail cable.
(1) Connect the tail cable according to the actual networking.
(2) Use two M2.5 cross-recessed flat head screws to secure the tail cable cover plate (with
the rubber pad side facing inward) to the back of the card reader.
(3) Thread the excess cables through the central round hole of the bracket and hide them
inside the 86mm/115mm junction box.
4. Secure the card reader to the bracket.
(1) Align the groove on the back of the card reader with the protrusion on the top of the
bracket and insert it, ensuring that the bottom screw holes of the bracket align with the
bottom screw holes of the card reader.
11
(2) Screw in one M3 truss head security screw from the bottom screw hole to ensure the card
reader is securely fastened to the bracket.
4 Startup
After the device is installed correctly, connect one end of the power adapter (user-purchased or
prepared) to the card reader’s power cable and the other end to a mains power outlet.
If the indicator light blinks blue, green, and red once each in sequence with a beep, the device
has started successfully.
