Mandatory actions to be taken
Change Passwords and Use Strong Passwords - More info
This should go without saying, but the number one reason a system becomes compromised is due to weak or default passwords. We recommend never using a default password and choosing a strong password whenever possible. A strong password is at least 8 characters and is made up of a combination of special characters, numbers and upper & lower case letters.
Update Firmware - More info
As standard procedure, we recommend keeping your NVR, DVR and IP camera firmware up-to-date to ensure the system includes the latest security patches. You can check the firmware release via your devices menu. To check for firmware updates and for instructions on how to upgrade your device, see our Upgrading Your Firmware page.
