6.4 Cluster Service

The cluster function, also known as cluster redundancy, is a kind of deployment method that can
improve the reliability of the device. In the cluster system, there is a number of main devices and
another number of sub devices (the N+M mode), and they have a virtual IP address (the cluster IP).
When the main device fails, the corresponding sub device will take over the job automatically. When
the main device recovers, the sub device will transmit the configuration data, cluster IP address and
videos recorded during the failure to the main device which then takes over the job again.
In the N+M cluster system, there is a management server, the DCS (Dispatching Console) server,
which is responsible for timely and correct scheduling management of the main and sub devices.
When you create a cluster, the current device is used as the first sub device and the DCS server by
default.

This function is available on select models.

6.4.1 Configuring Cluster IP

When the main device malfunctions, the sub device can use the main device configuration and
virtual IP address to replace the work (monitor or record) accordingly. When you use the virtual IP to
access the device, you can still view the real-time video and there is no risk of record loss.
Step 1 Log in to the web as the admin user.

● DDNS: DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Server) is a service that maps Internet domain names to IP
addresses. This service is useful to anyone who wants to operate a server (web server, mail server,
ftp server and more.) connected to the internet with a dynamic IP or to someone who wants to
connect to an office computer or server from a remote location with software.
● eSATA: eSATA (External Serial AT) is an interface that provides fast data transfer for external
storage devices. It is the extension specifications of a SATA interface.
● GPS: GPS (Global Positioning System) is a satellite system, protected by the US, safely orbiting
thousands of kilometers above the earth.
● PPPoE: PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) is a specification for connecting multiple
computer users on an Ethernet local area network to a remote site. Now the popular mode is
ADSL and it adopts PPPoE protocol.
● Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi is the name of a popular wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to
provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. The standard is for wireless local
area networks (WLANs). It is like a common language that all the devices use to communicate to
each other. It is actually IEEE802.11, a family of standard The IEEE (Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers Inc.)
● 3G: 3G is the wireless network standard. It is called 3G because it is the third generation of
cellular telecom standards. 3G is a faster network for phone and data transmission and speed Is
over several hundred kbps. Now there are four standards: CDMA2000, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and
WiMAX.
● Dual-stream: The dual-stream technology adopts high-rate bit stream for local HD storage such
as QCIF/CIF/2CIF/DCIF/4CIF encode and one low-rate bit stream for network transmission such as
QCIF/CIF encode. It can balance the local storage and remote network transmission. The dual-
stream can meet the difference band width requirements of the local transmission and the
remote transmission. In this way, the local transmission using high-bit stream can achieve HD
storage and the network transmission adopting low bit stream suitable for the fluency
requirements of the 3G network such as WCDMA, EVDO, TD-SCDMA.
● On-off value: It is the non-consecutive signal sampling and output. It includes remote sampling
and remote output. It has two statuses: 1/0.

Appendix 5 Cybersecurity Recommendations

Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s something that pertains to every device that is
connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps
toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less
susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations from Dahua on how to create a
more secured security system.
Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security:
1. Use Strong Passwords
Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords:
● The length should not be less than 8 characters.
● Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case letters,
numbers and symbols.
● Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order.
● Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
● Do not use overlapped characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.
2. Update Firmware and Client Software in Time
● According to the standard procedure in Tech-industry, we recommend to keep your device
(such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped with
the latest security patches and fixes. When the device is connected to the public network, it is
recommended to enable the "auto-check for updates" function to obtain timely information
of firmware updates released by the manufacturer.
● We suggest that you download and use the latest version of client software.
"Nice to have" recommendations to improve your device network security:
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to device, especially storage devices. For
example, place the device in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement well-done
access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from
carrying out physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of
removable device (such as USB flash disk, serial port), etc.
2. Change Passwords Regularly
We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed or cracked.
3. Set and Update Passwords Reset Information Timely
The device supports password reset function. Please set up related information for password
reset in time, including the end user’s mailbox and password protection questions. If the
information changes, please modify it in time. When setting password protection questions, it is
suggested not to use those that can be easily guessed.
4. Enable Account Lock
The account lock feature is enabled by default, and we recommend you to keep it on to
guarantee the account security. If an attacker attempts to log in with the wrong password several
times, the corresponding account and the source IP address will be locked.
5. Change Default HTTP and Other Service Ports
We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers between

394
 User's Manual
1024–65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are using.
6. Enable HTTPS
We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication
channel.
7. MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing
the risk of ARP spoofing.
8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably
According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a
minimum set of permissions to them.
9. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to
reduce risks.
If necessary, it is highly recommended that you use safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
● SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption passwords and authentication
passwords.
● SMTP: Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
● FTP: Choose SFTP, and set up strong passwords.
● AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up strong passwords.
10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, we recommend that you
use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen
during transmission.
Reminder: encrypted transmission will cause some loss in transmission efficiency.
11. Secure Auditing
● Check online users: we suggest that you check online users regularly to see if the device is
logged in without authorization.
● Check device log: By viewing the logs, you can know the IP addresses that were used to log in
to your devices and their key operations.
12. Network Log
Due to the limited storage capacity of the device, the stored log is limited. If you need to save the
log for a long time, it is recommended that you enable the network log function to ensure that
the critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.
13. Construct a Safe Network Environment
In order to better ensure the safety of device and reduce potential cyber risks, we recommend:
● Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet devices
from external network.
● The network should be partitioned and isolated according to the actual network needs. If
there are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to use
VLAN, network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, so as to achieve the
network isolation effect.
● Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to
private networks.
● Enable IP/MAC address filtering function to limit the range of hosts allowed to access the
