    3. Draw a virtual coil (a box where plates will be captured).
    4. Set country (e.g., USA, EU, China).
    5. In Intelligent → LPR Database, add allowed plates (white list) and banned plates (blacklist).

    • Disable P2P and UPNP: Smart PSS often auto-enables P2P for remote access. In a deep setup, these are disabled. Instead, a reverse proxy or a VPN (WireGuard/OpenVPN) is configured on the router. Exposing Smart PSS’s port (37777/TCP) directly to the internet invites botnet scans.
    • Windows Hardening: The PC should be stripped of all non-essential software. Run gpedit.msc to disable USB storage devices (preventing data theft) and set the PC to auto-login and auto-start Smart PSS as a Windows service using third-party tools (e.g., NSSM), ensuring the NVR reboots after power failure without human intervention.
    • User Permissions within Smart PSS: The default "admin" account is all-powerful. A deep setup creates a "viewer" account (live view only), an "operator" account (playback and export), and an "admin" account (system changes). Passwords must follow NIST guidelines—long passphrases, not complex expiry.
