When the Academy at the Lakes in Tampa, FL asked Securiteam to install a new campus wide access control system, their expectations were pretty simple: Restrict unauthorized access to campus buildings without significant inconvenience to students and faculty. Securiteam exceeded those expectations with a state of the art access control system from. The new access control secures all campus doors with electro-magnetic locks and access card readers. However, what exceeded their expectations is the campus-wide lock down system that was deployed as well. The lock down system locks all doors on campus within seconds. The system can be engaged with manual push buttons, from the S2 access control management system or from the Threat Level management app for iPhone or Android.

Check out the Threat Level App in action. Are you interested in upgrading or installing a new state of the art – access control and surveillance system in the Tampa Bay Area? The Following article is reposted from: Up to 46,000 Internet-accessible digital video recorders (DVRs) that are used to monitor and record video streams from surveillance cameras in homes and businesses can easily be taken over by hackers.

Feb 19, 2016 - “DVRs based on the Zhuhai RaySharp DVR firmware provide a. Are all configured with the same username “root” and the password “519070. Ms word 2007 utorrent 2016 torrent. Feb 17, 2016  In a 2010 post on a CCTV forum a user complained about the password existing in a DVR product from QSee, one of the 55 vendors listed in.

According to security researchers from vulnerability intelligence firm Risk Based Security (RBS), all the devices share the same basic vulnerability: They accept a hard-coded, unchangeable password for the highest-privileged user in their software — the root account.Using hard-coded passwords and hidden support accounts was a common practice a decade ago, when security did not play a large role in product design and development. That mentality has changed in recent years and many vendors, including large networking and security appliance makers, are frequently issuing firmware updates to fix such basic flaws when they are discovered by internal and external security audits.But then there are some vendors who never learn. That appears to be the case for Zhuhai RaySharp Technology, a Chinese manufacturer of video surveillance systems, including cameras and accompanying DVRs.RaySharp DVR devices provide a Web-based interface through which users can view camera feeds, manage recording and system settings and use the pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) controls of connected surveillance cameras. Gaining access to this management interface would provide an attacker with full control over the surveillance system.The DVR’s Web interface is powered by an embedded Web server which runs on a Linux-based OS — the firmware.

When analyzing the CGI scripts that handle user authentication for the Web interface, the RBS researchers found that they contained a routine to check if the user-supplied username was “root” and the password 519070. “If these credentials are supplied, full access is granted to the web interface,” the RBS researchers said a report scheduled to be published Wednesday.RaySharp claims on its website that it ships over 60,000 DVRs globally every month, but what makes things worse is that it’s not only RaySharp branded products that are affected. High definition (HD) video has become the standard for new installations. However not all HD surveillance installations are created equally.

Many surveillance systems manufacturers now offer HD 1080p surveillance systems that operate over standard coaxial cabling. HD-TVI, OR Analog HD technologies (I will compare these technologies in a future post) now allow most security contractors to offer entry level HD solutions to their clients. However these technologies are limited to 2 megapixel (1080p) resolution now and for the foreseeable future. Upon first glance, it would seem that HD A 1080p surveillance system would be enough to provide adequate images for most applications. After all the vast majority of home televisions today feature clear detailed images at 1080p. One would think that images of this quality would be sufficient for surveillance applications.

Unfortunately, the clarity your favorite TV show isn’t a good barometer of whether HD 1080p CCTV is sufficient for your security application. The fact is that your couch at home is likely only within 15 feet of your television. Also the program your watching was filmed by a professional camera man in control of a zoom lens connected to a $10,000 camera. Additionally, the camera is usually within 15 feet of the subject.
