Network Security for IP Video Surveillance Guide 2016

Author: Ethan Ace, Published on Feb 03, 2016

Keeping surveillance networks secure can be a daunting task, but there are several methods that can greatly reduce risk, especially when used in conjunction with each other.

In this guide, we look at several security techniques, both physical and logical, used to secure surveillance networks, including:

  • Network Hardening Guides
  • Passwords
  • LDAP / Active Directory Integration
  • VLANs
  • 802.1X Authentication
  • Disabling Switch Ports
  • Disabling Network Ports
  • Disabling Unused Services
  • MAC Address Filtering
  • Locking Plugs
  • Physical Access Control
  • Practical Issues - Hikvision, Foscam and More
  • Managing Network Security For Video Surveillance Systems
