Security recommendations for network architecture and configuration
NOTE!
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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). -
Use routers with firewall function and make sure it is enabled and properly configured.
-
It is recommended to change the default network communication port numbers of used devices if there is such possibility.
-
If used network devices has a UPnP feature and it is not used, turn it off.
-
If used network devices has a P2P feature and it is not used, turn it off.
-
If used network devices support HTTPS protocol for connection, it is recommended to use it.
-
If used network devices support IP filtering for authorized connections function, it is recommended to use it.
-
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 is recorder – there is no physically access directly to any camera.

Startup configuration
After the first start of the NVR, the setup wizard window is displayed (if the
function has not been disabled before). In order to properly configure the
recorder, follow these steps with the procedure:
NOTE!
- For suggested values for IP camera setting please refer to the “Cameras Capability Table” available on the www.novuscctv.com website. If you set wrong values some problems may appear: the NVR cannot search the IP camera, the stream cannot be connected, the image is not fluent, the image quality is bad and so on.
- Before starting work with the network recorder, you must perform the initial configuration of the device. At the bottom of the window, checkbox Enable wizard next time is checked. If you uncheck this box, the wizard will not start at the next restart.
- Click Wizard Setup to start.
NETWORK SETTINGS:
- The first tab of the setup wizard is Network Settings. The recorder has two network cards and they can work in two modes – Multiple Address Setting or Network fault tolerance. The first one requires that network cards have different IP addresses from different address groups. Each LAN port must be connected to separate network. The second mode allows to assign only one IP address, it is assigned to both ports – in case of damage to one connection, the other port takes over the connection. Both ports should then be connected to the same network.
- The recorder is enabled to obtain an IP address automatically by default. It gets IP address and DNS settings from the DHCP server. If the address retrieval fails, the recorder is assigned a default address of 192.168.1.100 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. If we want to edit these settings, disable the Obtain an IP address automatically checkbox and assign the appropriate IP address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS addresses. You can do the same for the second port.
- At the bottom of the window, you can define HTTP, HTTPS ports and the server data port.
- Parameter changes must be confirmed with the NEXT button
ADD CAMERA:
- Next window allows to configure the IP camera and add them to the recorder. Upper window displays cameras found by the NVR in local network. Before adding cameras to the system, make sure that they have a unique IP address. Cameras with IP addresses that have already been added to the NVR will not be displayed in the search part.
- To change the addressable cameras, click on the icon in the column EDIT (This works only with NOVUS IP 6000 camera series).

Otherwise, after a longer time from changing the password or after restarting the camera or recorder, the communication between the camera and the recorder will be lost. This is especially important for cameras with firmware version 5.1.0.0 and newer. These cameras do not have a defined default password (it means that the cameras are not activated by default), a new strong password should be defined when connecting to the camera for the first time. Without defining a new strong password, the camera configuration from the web browser will not be possible.
- If the NVR connected to the camera in STATUS filed will be displayed “Connected”.
- To remove a camera from the list, press the in DELETE column.

NOTE! Please note that if you change the camera password from the level of e.g. a web browser, you must also enter the newly defined password in the recorder. Otherwise, after a long time after changing the password or after restarting the camera or recorder, communication between the camera and the recorder will be lost. This is especially important for cameras with firmware version 5.1.0.0 and later. These cameras do not have a defined default password (this means that the cameras are not activated by default), a new strong password must be defined when connecting to the camera for the first time. Without defining a new strong password, it will not be possible to configure the camera from a web browser.
