or modification of any files, whether it may be accidental or intentional, that could cause issues for the server, applications or video data.

49.The Network Video Recorder software shall support minimum number of open ports. These ports shall be used for discovery and communication between the clients-and-server as well as the cameras-and-server. This is an inverse approach when compared with standard distribution operating systems that have nearly all ports open and are completely vulnerable to system attacks.

50.The Network Video Recorder software shall support 7 different levels of permissions for each individual camera. Each group of users shall have their own unique combination of permission settings:

a.No Access – (Users do not see or recognize these “covert” cameras)

b.Viewer Only – (Users can only view these cameras in their present position)

c.PTZ Viewer – (Users have same rights as Viewer Only, plus pan-tilt- zoom)

d.Guard – (Users have same rights as PTZ Viewer, plus search/playback)

e.Operator – (Users have same rights as Guard, plus modify camera settings)

f.Lock-Out – (Users have same rights as Operator, plus locking out access to these cameras for all lower-level users)

Note: When Lock-Out is enabled on any camera, all users with lower access permissions will immediately be denied access to live and recorded video until the camera's status is changed back to disabled.

g.Administrator – (Users have full rights to camera and system settings)

51.The Network Video Recorder software shall support multiple networks. The client network (LAN1) shall enable users to log into and access to the assigned resources of the Network Video Recorder. The private camera network (LAN2) shall enable only the Network Video Recorder to log into each individual IP camera and encoder. This topology shall protect the individual camera devices from unauthorized access, achieves overall higher performance, and in the event of a denial-of-service attack (DoS), the web server of the Network Video Recorder shall shutdown and temporarily prevent any client access, but it shall continue to manage and record video until the administrator can secure the network and restart the server.

52.The Network Video Recorder software shall support both standard HTTP as well as HTTPS communication between the clients and server. The open SSL 128-bit encryption will provide a higher level of security.

53.The Network Video Recorder software shall support custom password groups for the IP cameras and encoders. Most camera devices have a default administrator or root username and password. For added security, the password for the highest level user account can be modified on the camera device. Therefore, a custom password group for each unique password shall
