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. It is recommended to change default passwords immediately and choose a strong password whenever possible.
Page 3
In the event that your social media, bank, email, etc. account is compromised, you would not want someone collecting those passwords and trying them out on your video surveillance system. Using a different username and password for your security system will make it more difficult for someone to guess their way into your system.

Appendix 7 Earthing Appendix 7.1 What Is the Surge Surge is a short current or voltage change during a very short time. In the circuit, it lasts for microsecond. In a 220V circuit, the 5KV or 10KV voltage change during a very short time (about microseconds) can be called a surge.
arrestor with the signal port, it can cut the channel of the thunderstorm to the device, and on the other hand, it can discharge the current to the ground to guarantee the device proper work. The signal lightning arrester has many specifications, and widely used in many devices such as telephone, network, analog communication, digital communication, cable TV and satellite antenna.
Mixed ground: The mix ground consists of the feature of the one-point ground and multiple-point ground. For example, the power in the system needs to use the one-point ground mode while the radio frequency signal requires the multiple-point ground. So, you can use the following figure to earth.
more than 4mm The monitor system usually can adopt the one-point ground. Please connect the ground end of 3-pin socket in the monitor system to the ground port of the system (protection ground cable) Appendix 7.4 The Shortcut Way to Check the Electric System by Digital Multimeter For 220V AC socket, from the top to the bottom, E (ground cable), N (neutral cable), L(live cable).
