 1 Introduction

1.1 Overview
The access ANPR camera adopts intelligent deep learning algorithm. It supports vehicle detection,
license plate recognition, logo recognition, model recognition, and color recognition, and encoding
mode such as H.265.
The Camera consists of protective housing, illuminator, and intelligent HD camera. The intelligent
HD camera adopts progressive scanning CMOS, which owns several features such as high definition,
low illuminance, high frame rate, and excellent color rendition.
The Camera is extensively applied to vehicle capture, and recognition of community road, parking
lot, and other entrance, and exit surveillance.

1.2 Features

The features are available on select modes, and might differ from the actual camera.

Permission Management
● Each user group owns permissions. Permissions of a user cannot exceed the permissions of its
group.
● 2 user levels.
● Permission of opening barrier, and blocklist alarm function.
● Device configuration, and permission management through Ethernet.

Storage
● Stores corresponding video data onto the central server according to the configuration (such as
alarm, and timing settings).
● Users can record through web according to their requirements. The recorded video file will be
stored on the computer where client is located.
● Supports local hot swapping of storage card, and storage when network disconnected. It
overwrites stored pictures, and videos automatically when memory becomes insufficient.
● Stores 1024 log records, and user permission control.
● Supports FTP storage, and automatic network replenishment (ANR).

Alarm
● It can trigger alarm upon camera operation exceptions through network, such as memory card
damage.
● Some devices can connect to various alarm peripherals to respond to external alarm input in real
time (within 200 ms). It can correctly deal with various alarms according to the linkage
predefined by users, and generate corresponding voice prompt (users are allowed to record
voice in advance).

1
Network Monitoring
● Transmits video data of single channel compressed by device to network terminal, and make it
reappear after decompression through network. Keep delay within 500ms when bandwidth is
allowed.
● Supports maximum 10 users online at the same time.
● Supports system access, and device management through web.
● Video data transmission adopts HTTP, TCP, UDP, MULTICAST, and RTP/RTCP.

Capture, and Recognition

● Recognition of number plate, and other vehicle information, including vehicle color, logo, model,
and other vehicle features.
● Supports setting OSD information, and configuring location of channel, and picture.
● Supports picture capture, and encoding. Supports picture watermark encryption to prevent
pictures from being tampered.
● The captured pictures can automatically record vehicle time, location, license plate, vehicle color,
and more.

Peripheral Control
● Peripheral control: Supports setting various peripheral control protocols, and connection pages.
● Connects to external devices such as vehicle detector, signal detector, and more.

Auto Adjustment
● Auto iris: Automatically adjusts the iris opening to the changing light throughout the day.
● Auto white balance: Accurately displays the object color when light condition changes.
● Auto exposure: Automatically adjusts shutter speed according to the exposure value of the
image measured by the metering system, and according to shutter, and iris exposure set by
factory defaults.
● Auto gain: Automatically increases camera sensitivity when illuminance is very low, enhancing
image signal output so that the Camera can acquire clear, and bright image.

Appendix 1 Cybersecurity Recommendations

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 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:

86
  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
device.
