Cybersecurity Recommendations
Mandatory actions to be taken towards cybersecurity
1. Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords:
The number one reason systems get “hacked” is due to having weak or default passwords.
Dahua recommends changing default passwords immediately and choosing a strong
password whenever possible. A strong password should be made up of at least 8
characters and a combination of special characters, numbers, and upper and lower case
letters.
2. Update Firmware
As is standard procedure in the tech-industry, we recommend keeping NVR, DVR, and IP
camera firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is current with the latest security
