Installation

• Make sure the camera operates in an environment where the temperature and humidity meet requirements. Keep the camera from excessive pressure, vibration, moisture, dust, and intensive electromagnetic radiation.
• Use a power adapter or a PoE device that meets requirements. Otherwise, the device may be damaged.
• Make sure the length of the power cable between the power adapter and the camera is not too long, otherwise the voltage of the camera is lowered, causing the camera to work abnormally. If it is required to lengthen the power cable, lengthen the cable between the power adapter and the mains.
• Do not hold the tail cable by hand for weight bearing. Otherwise, the cable connector of the camera could be loosened.
• When connecting to an external interface, use an existing connection terminal, and ensure that the cable terminal (latch or clamp) is in good condition and properly fastened. Ensure that the cable is not tense during mounting, with a proper margin reserved to avoid poor port contact or loosening caused by shock or shake.
• During the process of transportation, special attention is required for the protection of the glass window to prevent friction, scratch and contamination, etc. In order to keep the cover clean, do not remove the protective film on the cover during mounting. After mounting is finished, remove the film before the device is powered on.
• Contact professionals for maintenance information. Do not attempt to dismantle the device by yourself. We shall not assume any responsibility for problems caused by unauthorized repair or maintenance.

Maintenance

•  Caution: There will be risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
• If there is dust on the glass window surface, remove the dust gently using an oil-free brush or a rubber dust blowing ball.
• If there is grease or a dust stain on the glass window surface, clean the glass window surface gently from the center outward using lens cleaning cloth. If the grease or the stain still cannot be removed, use lens cleaning cloth dipped with detergent and clean the glass window surface gently until it is removed.
• Do not use organic solvents, such as benzene or ethanol when cleaning the transparent dome cover.
• Make sure the lens cleaning cloth is clean itself.
• Never look at the transmit laser while the power is on. Never look directly at the fiber ports and the fiber cable ends when they are powered on.
• Use of controls or adjustments to the performance or procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous laser emissions.

• Change default password and set strong password: You are strongly recommended to change the default password after your first login and set a strong password of at least nine characters including all three elements: digits, letters and special characters.
• Keep firmware up to date: It is recommended that your device is always upgraded to the latest version for the latest functions and better security. Visit Uniview’s official website or contact your local dealer for the latest firmware.

The following are recommendations for enhancing network security of your device:

• Change password regularly: Change your device password on a regular basis and keep the password safe. Make sure only the authorized user can log in to the device.
• Enable HTTPS/SSL: Use SSL certificate to encrypt HTTP communications and ensure data security.
• Enable IP address filtering: Allow access only from the specified IP addresses.
• Minimum port mapping: Configure your router or firewall to open a minimum set of ports to the WAN and keep only the necessary port mappings. Never set the device as the DMZ host or configure a full cone NAT.
• Disable the automatic login and save password features: If multiple users have access to your computer, it is recommended that you disable these features to prevent unauthorized access.
• Choose username and password discretely: Avoid using the username and password of your social media, bank, email account, etc, as the username and password of your device, in case your social media, bank and email account information is leaked.
• Restrict user permissions: If more than one user needs access to your system, make sure each user is granted only the necessary permissions.
• Disable UPnP: When UPnP is enabled, the router will automatically map internal ports, and the system will automatically forward port data, which results in the risks of data leakage. Therefore, it is recommended to disable UPnP if HTTP and TCP port mapping have been enabled manually on your router.
• SNMP: Disable SNMP if you do not use it. If you do use it, then SNMPv3 is recommended.
• Multicast: Multicast is intended to transmit video to multiple devices. If you do not use this function, it is recommended you disable multicast on your network.
• Check logs: Check your device logs regularly to detect unauthorized access or abnormal operations.
• Physical protection: Keep the device in a locked room or cabinet to prevent unauthorized physical access.
• Isolate video surveillance network: Isolating your video surveillance network with other service networks helps prevent unauthorized access to devices in your security system from other service networks.
