2.2. Connection of alarm input and output
2.3. Power connection
The camera can be powered from one of the DC power adapters available on the market, provided that
it meets the camera's technical requirements. The power supply must provide a stabilized DC voltage of
12V, must allow the consumption of at least 10W of power, and allow for connection to the camera
using bare wires.
The camera can also be powered from a 230V/24V transformer or from an AC power supply supplying
24VAC/50Hz. The transformer or power supply must allow the consumption of at least 10W of power,
and allow the connection to the camera using bare wires.
Connect the wires to the power plug and then insert the plug into the power socket.
It is also possible to power the camera through the RJ45 network socket, using PoE technology (IEEE
802.3af Class 3).
Caution!
It is forbidden to use PoE devices (power supplies, adapters, etc.) that are not compliant with the
IEEE 802.3at standard, commonly referred to as "passive PoE power supplies", as the camera's
power source. Damage resulting from the use of inappropriate power sources is not covered by
the warranty.
2.4 Protection against water ingress
The declared tightness class of the camera applies to its housing and the mounting base (wall/ceiling
adapter), which is part of the equipment, provided that the correct installation is performed in
accordance with the procedure specified in section 2.5 of the manual. It is the responsibility of the
person installing the camera to protect the elements that require it against moisture.
The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage to the camera resulting from failure to comply
with the above-mentioned obligation, which at the same time means that they are not subject to
warranty repairs.

2.5. Camera mounting
 Place the mounting template on the mounting location so that the "UP" symbol and the arrow
point vertically upwards, mark the places for the holes for the wall plugs and the hole for the
connection cables (if necessary). Drill holes, insert wall plugs
 Depending on the planned method of leading the connecting cables, adjust the position of the
plugs and the gland in the holes of the base
 Screw the mounting base (wall/ceiling adapter) to the mounting location so that the arrow
embossed in its bottom points upwards. Run the wires through the hole in the back wall (if
necessary) and, after screwing the base, seal the space around them with sealing compound.
Alternatively, lead the wires through the gland and tighten the gland tightly
 Connect the cables to the appropriate sockets located in the connector block in the foot of the
camera. Place the camera foot on the mounting base with the "UP" embossed on the top of the
foot facing up. Tighten the screws securing the foot to the base.
START-UP AND INITIAL CONFIGURATION
When bolting the base to the mounting location, ensure that all screw head slots have gaskets.
Before starting the installation, plan how to route the connection cables, bearing in mind that the
mounting base (wall/ceiling adapter) allows cables to be inserted from the back (through the
wall), from the bottom or from the right side.
Cables may enter the mounting base (wall/ceiling adapter) only through the cable gland (except
for the hole in the rear panel - see next point). All other unused openings must be sealed with
plugs.
When mounting the camera on the mounting base, pay attention to the correct positioning of the
gasket in the foot. The seal must not be damaged, it must be located in the groove of the foot and
after screwing the camera it must adhere to the base around the entire perimeter.

2.6. Uruchomienie kamery
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.
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 AC adapter and direct connection to the computer
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.
2.7. 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
2.8. Security recommendations for network architecture and configuration
Caution!
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.

USING AND CONFIGURING
4.2.5. “FFC Control” tab
The tab allows to configure the operation of the FFC function. The FFC (Flat Field Correction)
function improves the quality of the thermal image, which degrades over time due to the accumulation
of small sensor errors related to changes in the ambient temperature or the observation of static
elements. The FFC function temporarily overrides the sensor, thanks to which each pixel is restored to
the same reference parameters, which allows for reliable mapping of temperatures.
The operating mode of the function is selected from the "FFC mode" list: automatic or manual. In
automatic mode, the camera activates the FFC when its temperature changes by a certain amount or
after a certain time (whichever comes first). The time and temperature intervals after which the FFC
will be activated are set using the appropriate sliders.
In manual mode, the camera does not perform FFC automatically. If you feel that the image is clearly
degraded, you can press the "Start FFC" button to manually activate the FFC and see if the image
quality can be improved.
The "Background Correction" button extends the diaphragm that covers the sensor. Thanks to this, all
sensor pixels detect the same temperature, which allows the correction algorithms to remove
accumulated errors in temperature measurement. The diaphragm should cover the sensor for about 15
seconds, and then the sensor should be uncovered again by pressing the "Run FFC" button.
To ensure the reliability of the camera operation and the most accurate representation of the
thermal image, it is recommended to leave the FFC function in automatic mode.
