Protect your video surveillance: essential cybersecurity tips

 

In today's world, security is a top priority, especially regarding video surveillance. Follow a few simple rules to ensure reliable protection of your equipment:

  1. Avoid using default ports for external connections. This is particularly important when setting up port forwarding on your router.
  2. Use non-standard ports for connections through an external IP address. For example, configure your router to forward from port 46573 to internal port 34567. Hackers often target default ports, so changing them reduces the risk of intrusion.
    !Important: Changing ports on your router does not pose any risk, but changing the ports on the device itself will suspend the P2P connection for that device.
  3. Set strong passwords. Complex and unique passwords significantly reduce the likelihood of your equipment being hacked. 
  4. Keep your software up to date. Always stay on top of firmware and software updates for your equipment. New versions often include patches that enhance security. 
  5. Regularly check your logs. Periodic review of event logs helps detect suspicious activity or unauthorized access attempts. 

Protect your data and sleep soundly, knowing your video surveillance is secure!
