START-UP AND INITIAL CAMERA CONFIGURATION
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. The description of
connecting power supply to the camera is in chapter 7.
After connecting power status red LED should light on. Initialization process
is then started which can take about 2 minutes. You can then proceed to
connect to the camera via web browser.
If the connection is successfully established green network status LED blinks
with a frequency proportional to the quantity of data sent
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 support
- Connection utilising external power supply and network switch
- Connection utilising external power supply directly to the computer
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 surgeprotectors is advised. Any damages resulting from
surges are not eligible for service repairs.
Initial configuration via the web browser
The default network settings for NVIP-2H-8002M/LPR camera are :
- IP address= 192.168.1.200
- Network mask – 255.255.255.0
- Gateway – 192.168.1.1
- User name – root
- 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.
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.
-
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 will be recorder – there will be no physically access directly to any camer

Sensor parameters configuration
The NVIP-2H-8002M/LPRcamera sensor menu was developed specially for the LPR camera, keeping in mind the readability of license plates in various lighting conditions.
Schemes and schedules
Sensor config is very important for quality of the license plates number detection and it’s radically different in day and night mode. In Novus LPR camera the sensor menu is working in specially LPR mode – when the schedule is turned off, the Scheme 1 is used for day mode and the Scheme 2 is used for night mode. Switching on the schedule result in switching the sensor menu in normal mode with Schemes switching by schedules.
Sensor menu configuration for LPR camera.
The most important sensor parameters affecting on license plates detection are Exposure, Shutter, Gain and Meter Area. The default settings of the LPR camera have been adapted by our specialists for the most possible camera assembly scenarios, however, for some objects will need to modify some of sensor settings due to their specificity. The most important aspects are presented below.
By default for day mode (Scheme 1) the Exposure is selected to Auto mode and the Meter Area is selected for Whole. These settings allow the camera to adapt to the changing scene. For night mode (Scheme 2) the Exposure is also selected to Auto mode, but the Meter Area is selected for Centre Area. This settings allow the camera to be focused on the place where the licence place will be instead of the whole area around.
The Shutter in LPR camera is a critical element, by default it’s set for day mode (Scheme 1) to 1/25. For night mode (Scheme 2) it’s set to 1/1000, so that the light reflecting from the license plate does not blind the camera but has a positive effect on its readability. Increasing the shutter frequency will reduce the amount of light, so the image in the night will mostly see the license plate reflecting the light and the headlights of the car will not blinding the camera.
To obtain the brightness of the whole image, the Gain setting should be modified. This setting will change amount of noise in the image, but it will brighten or darken the whole picture. This setting may be useful in very low ambient light conditions of the observed scene.
WARNING!
After changing the Sensor settings, save (or not) the settings and then
enter the Standard mode. Otherwise, the automatic change mode between
profiles when the camera is switching to day and night mode will fail.
