2.5. Starting the camera
To start the camera, connect the Ethernet cable to the RJ45 network socket of the IP camera, and the
other end to the network switch. As a power source, it is possible to use an external stabilized power
supply with parameters that meet the requirements of the camera or PoE network switch.
The recommended method of starting and configuring the IP camera is to connect it to a PC or laptop
in a dedicated network switch to which no other devices are connected. In case of power supply from
an external power supply, it is enough to use any network switch or a cable connected directly to the
computer. For network configuration data (IP address, gateway, netmask etc.), please contact the
administrator of the network in which the device is to work.

• Connection using the camera's external power supply and an Ethernet crossover cable
2.6. Parameter configuration using a web browser
The default network settings for camera 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.

START-UP AND INITIAL CONFIGURATION
2.7. Security recommendations for network architecture and configuration
WARNING!
Below are shown security recommendations for network architecture and configuration
of CCTV systems that are connected to the Internet to reduce the risk
of unauthorized interference with the system by a third party.
1. Absolutely change the default passwords and user names (if the device gives this possibility) of
all applied network devices (recorders, cameras, routers, network switches, etc.) to the
severely complexity password. Use lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters
if there is such possibility.
2. Depending on the available functionality in the order to restrict access to the used network devices at
the administrator account level, it is recommended to configure the users accounts accordingly.
3. Do not use DMZ function (Demilitarized zone) in your router. Using that function you open the
access to recorder system from the Internet on all ports, which gives possibility for an unauthorized
interference with the system.
Instead of DMZ use port forwarding redirect only the ports which are necessary for the performance
of the connection (detailed information about ports of communication in different models of recorders,
cameras, etc. can be found in the operating instructions).
4. Use routers with firewall function and make sure it is enabled and properly configured.
5. It is recommended to change the default network communication port numbers of used devices
if there is such possibility.
6. If used network devices has aUPnP feature and it is not used, turn it off.
7. If used network devices has aP2P feature and it is not used, turn it off.
8. If used network devices support HTTPS protocol for connection, it is recommended to use it.
9. If used network devices support IP filtering for authorized connections function, it is recommended
to use it.
10. If used recorder has two network interfaces it is recommended to use both of them to physically
separate network for cameras and network for Internet connection. The only device in the system,
accessible from Internet will be recorder - there will be no physically access directly to any camera.

3. NETWORK CONNECTION USING WEB BROSWER
3.1. Recommended PC specification for web browser connections
The following requirements apply to the connection with the IP camera assuming smooth video display
at the maximum resolution.
1. CPU Intel Core i3 3GHz or newer
2. RAM Memory min. 4 GB
3. Graphic card NVIDIA GeForce 1 GHz
4. OS Windows VISTA / 7 / 8
5. Network card 10/100/1000 Mb/s
3.2. First connection to the camera via a web browser
Enter the IP address of the camera in the address bar of the web browser. After connection, depending
on the firmware version, the first connection to the camera can take place in two ways: by defining the
administrator password or by logging in directly to the camera's web panel.
Defining the administrator password
When connecting to the camera for the first time, the administrator password definition window will be
displayed.
Enter the password for the administrator account in the "New Password" field, and then repeat for
confirmation in the "Confirm Password" field. The strength of the password is indicated on the
"Password Strength" indicator, and the requirements for its creation can be seen in the pop-up window
that shows up by hovering over the question mark symbol.
NETWORK CONNECTION USING WEB BROWSER
The procedure for connecting to the camera and defining the administrator password is
described below. The method of logging in directly to the camera is described on page 13.

After defining the administrator password, the password recovery question selection window is
displayed.
To activate the security questions, select the "Security Question Configuration" option. Then select the
questions from the "Security Question" lists and enter your own answers in the “Answer” fields.
After making the necessary changes, save them by pressing the "OK" button. The camera confirms the
correctness of the operations by displaying a confirmation window. After pressing the "OK" button in
the confirmation window, the login window to the web panel of the camera is displayed.
NETWORK CONNECTION USING WEB BROWSER
It is obligatory to answer all the questions. Selected questions and answers should be stored in a
place protected against unauthorized access. After saving the answers, they cannot be changed,
and giving new ones is possible after restoring the factory settings.
Since the camera does not analyze the sense of the answer, but only remembers it, it can be any
string of characters. The same answer can be given to each of the questions.
It is not mandatory to activate security questions. This step can be skipped by pressing the "OK"
button without selecting "Security Question Configuration", or by pressing the "Cancel" button.
However, in this case, the password recovery option is not available and the only way to restore
access to the camera in case the password is lost is to use the button reset.

run.
When logging in with a browser using HTML5 (such as Firefox, Chrome, Opera, Safari), there is no
need to install any plug-ins and after entering the username and password, the preview window
displays an live image.
The described method of password recovery is active only for cameras with firmware that
requires the definition of an administrator password at the first login. For the firmware version
with direct login, access to the camera after forgetting the password will only be possible after
resetting the camera.
