START-UP AND INITIAL CAMERA CONFIGURATION
1. START-UP AND INITIAL IP CAMERA CONFIGURATION
1.1. Overview
Following manual for IP Cameras NVIP-3000 series contains detailed information about camera
connection and operation, main page introduction, system related settings and camera settings.
Note
In this document you can find all available functionality. Depending on camera model some features
might be unavailable.
1.2. Starting the IP camera
To run NOVUS IP camera you have to connect ethernet cable between camera and network switch.
To power it up you can connect it directly via power supply adapter with parameters compatible with
camera power supply specification, or camera can be powered with PoE/PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/802.3at)
compatible switch.
After connecting power supply green LED should light on. Initialization process is then started which
takes about 30 seconds. You can then proceed to connect to the camera via web browser.
If the connection is successfully established orange LED blinks with a frequency proportional to the
quantity of data sent. Connecting via web browser is then possible. If connection isn’t established (the
network cable is disconnected) green and orange LEDs aren't active, solid light means that network
connection is ok but camera doesn't receive or send any data, with possible PC network settings error.
The recommended way to start an IP camera and perform its configuration is a connection directly
to the network switch which is not connected to other devices. To obtain further information about
network configuration parameters (IP address, gateway, network mask, etc.) please contact your
network administrator.
• Connection utilising network switch with PoE/PoE+ support

START-UP AND INITIAL CAMERA CONFIGURATION
• Connection utilising external power supply and network switch
• Connection utilising external power supply directly to the computer
1.3. Initial configuration via the web browser
The default network settings for IP camera NVIP-7000 series are:
1. IP address= 192.168.1.200
2. Network mask - 255.255.255.0
3. Gateway - 192.168.1.1
4. User name - root
5. Password - pass
Knowing the camera’s IP address you need to appropriately set PC IP address, so the two devices can
operate in one network subnet ( e.g. for IP 192.168.1.1, appropriate address for the camera ranges from
192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254, for example 192.168.1.60). It is not allowed to set the same addresses for
camera and PC computer
You can either set a network configuration (IP address, gateway, net mask, etc.) of NOVUS IP camera
yourself or select DHCP mode (DHCP server is required in this method in target network) by using
web browser or by NMS software. When you use DHCP server check IP address lease and its linking
with camera MAC address to avoid changing or losing IP address during device operation or network/
DHCP server breakdown. You have to remember to use a new camera IP address after changing
network parameters.
After network setting configuration has been done, the camera can be connected to a target network.

2. RAM Memory min. 4 GB
3. Graphic card NVIDIA GeForce 512 MB or equivalent
4. OS Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
5. Network card 10/100/1000 Mb/s
2.2. Connection with IP camera via web browser

If the installation fails, changing security settings for the IE browser is required. In order to do that,
please choose: Tools > Internet options > Security tab > Custom level and:
• Under Download unsigned ActiveX controls - select either Enable or Prompt
• Under Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe - select Enable or Prompt
You can also add the camera’s IP address to “trusted zone” and set lowest security level for it.
In addition, when working in Windows / 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10 the ActiveX applet may be blocked by
Windows Defender or User account control. In such case you should allow to run this applet, or simply
disable these functions.
After successful installation login window will be displayed. Default user is root and default password
is pass. For safety reasons, it is recommended to change default user name and password.
WARNING !!! If user forgets login and/or password for IP Camera, it is required to sent
IP Camera back to supplier. In this case, it is not possible for user to restore IP Camera factory
defaults on his own.
