• Although the best video performance will be enabled by

Ethernet connectivity, unauthorized access to the Door

Station could provide access to the dwelling's Ethernet

network and corresponding personal data.

There are alternatives to mitigate this risk. The Dealer should

consider the following options:

• Running Control4 on an isolated LAN from PCs on the

network would limit exposure to personal data.

• Running MAC address filtering on the router or switch to

force a hacker to spoof the Door Station's MAC address to

gain access to the LAN.

• Configuring the Door Station as WiFi instead of Ethernet

would allow the dealer to use robust WiFi security

protocols, for example, WPA.

Note: WiFi signals must be very strong and stable to

support Video Intercom.

• Routing the Ethernet cable to the Door Station through a

secure, managed switch to limit data access from the Door

Station.

• Dealers should take time to assure they are not creating

an unforeseen security risk for the customer, and any such

risks should be discussed with the customer prior to the

installation.

• Carefully consider with your customer any contacts or relays

before connecting them to the Door Station, and what

implications could arise if someone gained access to the rear

of the Door Station.

• Also, think about what could happen if someone gained

access to the Ethernet cable, and take necessary precautions

to protect private customer information unless your

customer is willing to assume these risks. Making available

the proper security protections to a customer for their

residence is the responsibility of the Control4 installer.
