Caution:
It is forbidden to use – as the camera power source – PoE equipment (adapters, etc.) not compatible
with IEEE 802.3af standard (items called “passive PoE power supply”). Damages that results from
the usage of improper power supply source are not covered by the warranty.
Caution:
Camera connectors / sockets are not hermetic. The user should ensure their hermeticity on his
own.
Caution:
Please note that the wall or ceiling must have enough strength to support the IP Camera.
Caution:
In order to obtain declared degree of protection please seal the camera base to prevent water
getting inside. Furthermore, when installing the camera on rough/uneven surfaces, please
additionally seal the junction with appropriate sealing mass. Please pay special attention to any
mounting holes and if they are a loop-through ones, seal them too.
Caution:
The declared degree of protection of the camera relates to its housing and does not take into account
the possibility of moisture infiltration into the interior of the camera by connecting cables.
Connection cables protection through i.e. sealing up is the responsibility of the camera installer. The
manufacturer is not liable for any damages to the camera caused as a result of failing in performing
that activity by installer, which also means that camera damaged in that way is not subject to
warranty repairs.

2.3. Connecting Ethernet cable
To maintain tightness of Ethernet cable connection, please follow instruction below:
1. Loosen the nut (a) from the main element (b).
2. Run power cable (without RJ-45 connector) though both elements. Then crimp the cable with RJ-45
connector. Install rubber gasket (d) on the connector (c).
3. Connect the cable to the waterproof connector (c), screw main cover (b), then screw the nut (a).
Caution: The other camera connectors are not waterproof. User should seal them by himself.
2.4. Connecting power supply to the camera.
The camera can be supplied by using RJ45 network socket or by power connector. To run NOVUS IP
camera you can connect ethernet cable between camera and network switch with PoE support (IEEE
802.3af). You can also use a power injector with (IEEE 802.3af) PoE standard. Use power supply with
parameters compatible with camera specification to power camera via power in jack.
Information:
Power supply adapter is not included. Please use power adapter with parameters specified in user’s
manual.
Caution : Make sure to follow the correct polarity if connecting the camera to DC power.
Polarity is marked on the power connector.
Caution: In order to provide protection against voltage surges/lightning strikes, usage of
appropriate surge protectors is advised. Any damages resulting from surges are not eligible for
service repairs.

2.5. Starting the IP camera
To run NOVUS IP camera you have to connect ethernet cable between camera and network switch
with PoE support (IEEE 802.3af).
You can also connect it directly via power supply adapter with parameters compatible with camera
power supply specification.
After connecting power initialization process can take about 2 minutes. You can then proceed to
connect to the camera via web browser.
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.

Information:
Power supply adapter is not included. Please use power adapter with parameters specified in user’s
manual.
Caution:
In order to provide protection against voltage surges/lightning strikes, usage of appropriate surge
protectors is advised. Any damages resulting from surges are not eligible for service repairs.
2.6. Initial configuration via the web browser
The default network settings for NVIP-6DN3618V/IR-1P 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.

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.

NETWORK CONNECTION 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.
