4.12.8 RAID
RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a data storage virtualization technology that combines multiple physical HDD components into a single logical unit for the purposes of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both.
● RAID function is for some series products only. Slight difference might be found on the user interface.
● The NVR supports RAID0, RAID1, RAID5, RAID6, and RAID 10. Local hot spare supports RAID1,
RAID5, RAID6, and RAID10.
For the disk quantity required for each RAID type. See Table 4-81.

5.4 Cluster Service
The Cluster service is a system component used to control activities on a single node.
In a cluster, there can be N main devices and M sub devices (i.e., N+M mode).
When the main device fails, the sub device will replace the main device according to its configuration and cluster IP address, and the sub device will automatically send the video back to the main device after the main device is restored.
There are two standards when the main device is in malfunction: 1) Device is offline. 2) Device storage is damaged.
This function is only supported by select models. The actual product shall prevail.
5.4.1 Cluster IP
Background Information
About Cluster service: when main device is in malfunction, 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, he can still view the real-time video and there is no risk of
416
User's Manual record loss. Once the main device becomes properly, the sub can still work until you use the web to fix manually.

Use command PING to check you can connect to the gateway or not. Use telnet to access and then use command "ifconfig–a" to check device IP address. If you see the subnet mask and the gateway has changed after the reboot. Upgrade the applications and set again.
● For 32-channel series product, the 9/16-window is using the sub stream.
● For 4/8/16 series product, system is using the main stream no matter you are in what display mode.
Daily Maintenance
● Use the brush to clean the board, socket connector and the chassis regularly.
● The device shall be soundly earthed in case there is audio/video disturbance. Keep the device away from the static voltage or induced voltage.
● Unplug the power cable before you remove the audio/video signal cable, RS-232 or RS-485 cable.
● Do not connect the TV to the local video output port (VOUT). It might result in video output circuit.
● Always shut down the device properly. Use the shutdown function in the menu, or you can press the power button in the rear pane for at least three seconds to shut down the device. Otherwise it might result in HDD malfunction.

Appendix 1 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 on how to create a more secured security system.
Mandatory actions to be taken for basic equipment 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 equipment (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 equipment 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 equipment network security
1.
Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to equipment, especially storage devices. For example, place the equipment in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement welldone access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from carrying out physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of removable equipment (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 equipment 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.
426
User's Manual
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.
Enable Allowlist
We suggest you to enable allowlist function to prevent everyone, except those with specified IP addresses, from accessing the system. Therefore, please be sure to add your computer’s IP address and the accompanying equipment’s IP address to the allowlist.
8.
MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the equipment, thus reducing the risk of ARP spoofing.
9.
Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably
According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a minimum set of permissions to them.
10.
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.
11.
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.
12.
Secure Auditing
● Check online users: we suggest that you check online users regularly to see if the device is logged in without authorization.
● Check equipment log: By viewing the logs, you can know the IP addresses that were used to log in to your devices and their key operations.
13.
Network Log
Due to the limited storage capacity of the equipment, 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.
14.
Construct a Safe Network Environment
In order to better ensure the safety of equipment 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.
427
User's Manual
● 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.
● It is recommended that you enable your device's firewall or blocklist and allowlist feature to reduce the risk that your device might be attacked.
