1. Unscrew the nut (1) from the connector cover (2).
2. Route the network cable (without the RJ-45 plug) through the components (1) and (2), than crimp the RJ-45 connector.
3. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the hermetic socket (3), screw the connector cover (2), and than the nut (1).

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 camera by connection cables. Connection cables protection i.e. sealing up is the camera installer’s duty. The manufacturer is not liable for any camera damages 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.
CAUTION!
The camera power supply connector is not hermetic. The installer should seal this connector by himself. The camera can be supplied using an external power supply unit corresponding with the camera parameters or by using the RJ45 network socket and PoE (802.3af) power supply unit. If you’re using external power supply please connect wires according to polarisation shown on the picture:

CAUTION!
In order to provide protection against voltage surges/lightning strikes, the usage of appropriate surge protectors is advised. Any damages resulting from surges are not eligible for service repairs.
2.3. Camera mounting
To mount a camera please follow the instructions below:

• Unscrew the counter nut (2).
• Put the bracket to the wall in a desired mounting place (with a cable hole). Take the drill pattern and mark future drilling holes for screws and wires.
• Drill holes for screws, wires and base.
• Mount the camera base (1) using the supplied plugs and screws.
• If necessary, unscrew the service panel (3), mount the microSD card in the socket (4) and screw the camera service panel (3).
• Connect the camera wires.
• Adjust camera position.
• Tighten to the stop counter nut (2).

CAUTION!
Please note that the wall or ceiling must have enough strength to carry the IP Camera.
CAUTION!
In order to obtain declared degree of protection please seal the camera bracket to prevent water from getting inside. Furthermore, when installing the bracket 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 loop-through ones, seal them too.

2.4. Starting the IP camera
To run the NOVUS IP camera you have to connect an ethernet cable between the camera and the network PoE switch with PoE support (IEEE 802.3af).
You can also power it from a 12VDC power supply compatible with the camera power supply specification.
The recommended way to start an IP camera and perform its configuration is a direct connection 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 using network switch with PoE support
  

• Connection using external power supply and network switch
  

•  Connection using 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.

2.5. Initial configuration via the web browser
The default network settings for the NVIP-5H-6511/F 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, the 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 the camera and PC computers. You can either set a network configuration (IP address, gateway, netmask, etc.) of the NOVUS IP camera yourself or select DHCP mode (DHCP server is required in this method in target network) by using a web browser or by NMS software. When you use the DHCP server check IP address lease and its linking with the 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 the network setting configuration has been done, the camera can be connected to a target network.
2.6. 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 severe complexity password. Use lowercase and uppercase letters, numbers, and special characters if there is such a 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 user’s accounts accordingly.

3. Do not use the DMZ function (Demilitarized zone) in your router. Using that function you open the access to the recorder system from the Internet on all ports, which gives the possibility for an unauthorized interference with the system.
   Instead of DMZ use port forwarding to 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 a possibility.

6. If used network devices has a UPnP feature and it is not used, turn it off.

7. If used network devices has a P2P 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 the used recorder has two network interfaces it is recommended to use both of them to physically separate the network for cameras and the network for Internet connection. The only device in the system, accessible from the Internet will be the recorder – there will be no physical access directly to any camera.

NETWORK CONNECTION USING WEB BROWSER

3.1. Recommended PC specification for web browser connections
