The K Series, a new line of NVRs from SCATI VISION’s Enterprise Range.

SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent IP video solutions incorporates the K series in its portfolio of video recorders.   

Based on IP technology and within the VISION SUITE, this equipment has an integrated PoE switch with up to 24 PoE ports, to facilitate the implementation of the cameras connected directly to the equipment, which provides significant cost savings, and is expandable up to 64 IP channels through recording licenses with full availability.

The K series has 8 front 3.5″ SATA Hot Swap (or hot plug) disks that allow you to connect / disconnect your hard drives without shutting down the computer, which avoids damaging the storage unit internally and ensures its continuous operation and has up to 80TB of storage.

Its design maximizes uninterrupted operation in the event of failures by implementing hardware redundancy in its components and RAID 5 storage configuration, making it ideal for mission-critical video surveillance operations.

As the recording needs are different in each project and in each customer, using cameras of higher or lower resolution, having to record for longer or shorter periods of time, continuously or by events, all SCATI VISION recorders allow configurable storage with disks specifically manufactured for use in video surveillance. In addition, they are part of a fully scalable solution and are designed to work with any ONVIF camera.

The K series devices use H.265 compression algorithms, which allows the images to be stored in less storage (up to 40% less compared to other manufacturers using H.264) and the transmission of images over the network can be done in a much lighter and smoother way.

Like all VISION SUITE video recorders, the K series incorporates functionalities that allow continuous monitoring of their health and operation and, in the event that a failure is detected, to notify technical alarms; and they are also capable of simultaneously serving multiple clients and limiting the transmission of information according to the available bandwidth.

 

SCATI confirms that all its products and systems comply with the requirements of the US NDAA (National Defense Authorization Act) and are 100% compliant.

SCATI also declares, by means of the CE marking (Conformité Européenne) of the European Union, that its products comply with the minimum safety requirements set out in the applicable directives.

Panoramic cameras offer a larger field of view than any conventional camera and are especially useful for monitoring large areas, resulting in significant savings in resources.

180 panoramic camera indoors

SCATI, manufacturer of intelligent video solutions, adds to its catalog a new 180º panoramic camera to cover large indoor areas.

This panoramic camera with minidome format (SEM-3601R-XU) offers a wide viewing angle and is very well received in projects where it is required to cover the security of indoor facilities such as logistics platforms, stores, hotel common areas, shopping centers, etc.

This camera allows automatic day/night switching thanks to the incorporation of a mechanical IR filter (up to 10 meters) and has a high resolution of 4 Megapixels (2688×1520) offering clear images even in strong backlight conditions (120 dB WDR).

The wide field of view offered by a panoramic camera allows the replacement of several conventional cameras, offering significant cost savings (device purchase, installation and cabling) and reducing the number of possible blind spots.

Recommendations to protect your cameras against cyber-attacks

Recommendations to protect your cameras against cyber-attacks

Cyber-Security for IP cameras

Any device connected to the network, like IP cameras, has the risk of being cyber-attacked. Are your cameras really protected against cyber-attacks?

The following article include numerous recommendations that will help you strengthen the environment and protect your IP cameras against possible Internet threats.

1. Limiting access to the Network

The first step to protect your cameras is to protect the network they are connected to. For that purpose, the most effective and usual procedure is to place the recorders and cameras in a network isolated from the corporate network physically or virtually.

2. Authentication

SECURE PASSWORDS

The password is the second main protection measure when one camera is installed and connected to the network.

It is recommended to set a strong password containing at least 8 characters including uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers and special characters. (Find out the 5 key points to create a secure password)

BLOCKING IMPROPER ACCESS

Illegal login blocking is used to limit the number of the user’s login attempts. If the maximum number of attempts is exceeded, the IP address can be blocked for a period of time.

DIGEST AUTHENTICATION

RTSP and WEB authentication support the “digest” mode. This authentication method prevents web customers from sending the access passwords in plain through the network.

PERMIT MANAGER

It is recommended to have a permit manager with different access levels or users’ groups (roles) so that everyone can access the minimum essential information to develop their work.

3. Encrypting

Based on SSL/TLS and HTTP, the HTTPS protocol encrypts traffic between the customer and the camera improving the web access security.

We recommend you using a certificate signed by a CA (Public or private Certified Authority), although it means an additional cost, to reduce the risk an attacking system makes itself out to be a camera. A self-signed certificate is suitable for providing encrypting, but web customers will notice that it is an untrusted certificate.

4. Ports and Services

To minimise the possibility of attacks and reduce security risks you will only need to enable the ports and services needed for their environment.

SNMP

If necessary, you can enable the SNMP function to recover the state of the camera, parameters and information related to the alarm, and manage the camera remotely when connected to the network.

UPNP

The Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol is a network protocol allowing for the discovery and automatic connection between network devices, as it is an automatic communication protocol, it is recommendable to disable it whenever possible.

QOS

QoS (Service Quality) is a mechanism that prioritises network traffic for specific applications. It can help solve the network delay and congestion through configuring the priority of data transmissions.

LOG FILES

Useful to register operations carried out with the cameras. It will help you search.

From the point of view of security, it is important that the date and time are correct so that, for example, the log registers have the date with the correct information.

Remember to synchronise the camera clock with a local or public server of network time protocol (NTP).

USERS’ AUDIT

Register of every connected user and IP.

AUTHORISED CUSTOMERS

Enabling IP filtering only for authorised customers will avoid the camera responding to the network traffic of other customers. It allows generation of white/blacklists for IP, to which access can be allowed or denied.
