In light of recent media coverage highlighting concerns about Chinese CCTV systems (Chinese Spy Cameras on Panorama) and the potential for hacking, it is crucial for both business owners and premises owners to prioritize the security of their CCTV systems. GBSG understands these concerns and is committed to providing secure solutions that protect your business and premises from unauthorized access. This article explores GBSG’s comprehensive security measures, including dedicated networks, controlled internet connections, remote monitoring without third-party servers, secure access for viewing on internal networks and via the internet, and ongoing maintenance with regular security patching.

Dedicated Networks

Strengthening Security and Isolation GBSG employs a stringent approach to security by utilizing dedicated networks for CCTV systems. We understand the risks associated with Chinese CCTV systems (Chinese spy cameras) and their potential vulnerabilities. Therefore, we ensure that your CCTV systems are never connected to corporate networks or shared infrastructures. By establishing separate and secure local area networks (LANs), such as the GBSG Secure LAN, we effectively isolate your CCTV systems, minimizing the chances of unauthorized access and mitigating potential compromises.

Limited Internet Connections and Enhanced Security

Considering the growing concerns about hacking incidents targeting CCTV systems, GBSG takes a proactive stance in minimizing exposure to the internet. We strictly control and limit connections between our security LAN and the internet. In cases where internet connectivity is necessary, such as remote viewing, we establish separate and secure connections to preserve the integrity of your CCTV system. This approach allows you to access and monitor CCTV footage on your internal networks and through the internet, while maintaining robust security measures against unauthorized access.

Remote Monitoring without Third-Party Servers

Recent incidents involving hacking attempts on CCTV systems have raised concerns about the security of third-party servers. GBSG addresses these concerns by operating our own remote monitoring capability. Unlike systems that rely on third-party servers, we ensure that your CCTV footage remains under our direct control. By utilizing our secure servers, we eliminate potential vulnerabilities associated with third-party involvement, enhancing the confidentiality and security of your data.

Secure Access for Viewing

Safeguarding Against Unauthorized Access GBSG understands the importance of convenient and secure access to CCTV footage, both on internal networks and via the internet. To provide a robust security framework, we offer secure access for viewing within your corporate LAN. Our approach involves implementing a controlled and secure communication system that allows you to monitor all cameras through a single access point. This ensures that direct access to devices from other networks is restricted, safeguarding the integrity of your CCTV system and protecting your internal networks against potential breaches.

Ongoing Maintenance and Security Patching

Maintaining the long-term security and optimal performance of your CCTV systems is essential. GBSG provides comprehensive maintenance services to protect your investment. Our expert technicians conduct regular security checks to verify the integrity of your cameras and system components. Additionally, we ensure that your CCTV systems are updated with the latest security patches and firmware upgrades. By proactively addressing known vulnerabilities and staying ahead of emerging threats, we enhance the overall security posture of your CCTV infrastructure.

 

Safeguarding your business and premises against potential threats, including concerns associated with Chinese CCTV systems and hacking attempts, requires robust security measures. GBSG is committed to delivering secure CCTV solutions that prioritize the protection of your data and assets. Through dedicated networks, controlled internet connections, remote monitoring without third-party servers, secure access for viewing on internal networks and via the internet, and ongoing maintenance with regular security patching, we mitigate risks and ensure the reliability of your CCTV systems.
