 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 cone 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.
 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.
 SNMP: Disable SNMP if you do not use it. If you do use it, then SNMPv3 is recommended.
 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.
 Physical protection: Keep the device in a locked room or cabinet to prevent unauthorized
physical access.
 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.
