Hi,

First, I suggest you periodically change the passwords of the CCTV system, including the VCN540 and cameras.

Second, you are advised to check whether the CCTV port is enabled or disabled according to the communication matrix.

Third, zoom out the maximum number of users who can log in to the device at the same time.

Fourth, set the IP address trust list.

Hope the answer can help you!

Hi, PaPu!

Welcome to our community!

First, please understand the risks that may exist in the system.

Security Risks Generated Due to Improper Network Architecture

  • If the product network architecture is improper, for example, the network is not physically or logically isolated, security risks may arise.

    Some cameras that are installed in insecure regions are vulnerable to potential physical attacks. For example, video observation cameras are installed outside a building, and some visible signs are set up. If some cameras are physically attacked, the attackers can access the network where the video observation and IT systems are located, bringing a lot of security risks.

  • Data disclosure, data tampering, and information block may occur on cameras that are connected in wireless mode (for example, LTE or Wi-Fi).

Security Risks Generated Due to Observation Center or Improper Video Observation Device Selection and Configuration

  • If local management serial ports exist on video observation cameras, attackers may conduct attacks through the ports.

  • If default passwords of video observation cameras are insecure or unnecessary management functions and interfaces are not disabled, the passwords may be cracked.

Security Risks Generated Due to Information Disclosure

  • If signaling streams (especially sensitive information) sent from and received by devices are not encrypted, the sensitive information may be disclosed. If the session mechanism is not comprehensive, session hijack may occur.

  • If video streams transmitted over the network are not encrypted, important video data may be disclosed.
