If any of these elements have been damaged during transport, pack all the elements back into the original box and contact your supplier for further assistance.

CAUTION!
It is forbidden to use – as the camera power source – PoE equipment (adapters, etc.) not compatible with IEEE 802.3at/af standard (items called “passive PoE power supply”). Damages caused by the usage of improper power supply sources are not covered by the warranty.

START-UP AND INITIAL IP CAMERA CONFIGURATION
CAUTION!
If the device was brought from a location with a lower temperature, please wait until it reaches the temperature of the location it is currently in. Turning the device on immediately after bringing it from a location with a lower ambient temperature is forbidden, as the condensing water vapor may cause short circuits and damage the device as a result. Before starting the device familiarize yourself with the description and the role of particular inputs, outputs and adjusting elements that the device is equipped with.

Description of connectors and control tools

100 Mb/s Ethernet port (PoE RJ-45 connector)
Power supply 12VDC
Counter screw
Base of camera
Lens adjustment levers

Ethernet cable connecting
To maintain the tightness of the ethernet cable connection, please follow the instructions below:

Unscrew the nut (1) from the connector cover (2).
Route the network cable (without the RJ-45 plug) through components (1) and (2), then crimp the RJ-45 connector.
Plug the RJ-45 connector into the hermetic socket (3), screw the connector cover (2), and then 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 through i.e. sealing up is the camera installer’s duty. The manufacturer is not liable for any camera damages caused as a result of the failure in performing that activity by the 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 (802.3at/af) power supply unit. If you’re using an external power supply please connect wires according to the polarisation shown in 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.

Camera mounting
To mount a camera please follow the instructions below:

Unscrew the counter screw (4).
Remove the camera cover (3), and remove the camera from the base (5).
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 (5) using the supplied plugs and screws.
Connect the camera wires, put the camera on the base (5), attach the cover (3), and pre-tighten the counter screw (4).
Adjust camera position, if necessary, unscrew the camera service panel (2), using Zoom/Focus levers (1) adjust the lens and screw the camera service panel (2).
Tighten to the stop counter screw (4).

CAUTION!
Please note that the wall or ceiling must have enough strength to carry the IP Camera.

CAUTION!
In order to obtain a 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 the appropriate sealing mass. Please pay special attention to any mounting holes and if they are loop-through ones, seal them too.

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 802.3at/af). You can also power it from a 12VDC power supply compatible with the camera power supply specification. After connecting the power status red LED should light on. The initialization process takes about 2 minutes. Then you can connect to the camera via web browser. 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 directly to the computer

Information
The power supply adapter is not included. Please use a power adapter with the parameters specified in the user‘s manual.

Initial configuration via the web browser
The default network settings for the NVIP-5VE-6202 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, 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 computer 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 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.

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.

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.
Depending on the available functionality in the order to restrict access to the user network devices at the administrator account level, it is recommended to configure the user’s accounts accordingly.
Do not use the DMZ function (Demilitarized zone) in your router. Using that function you open access to the recorder system from the Internet on all ports, which gives the possibility for unauthorized interference with the system. Instead of DMZ using 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 a 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 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 a recorder – there will be no physical access directly to any camera.

NETWORK CONNECTION USING WEB BROWSER
Recommended PC specification for web browser connections requirements below applies to connection with an IP camera, assuming smooth image display in 2592×1944 resolution and 20 fps speed.

CPU Intel i7 3 GHz or faster
RAM Memory min. 6 GB
VGA card Nvidia GeForce 1GB
OS Windows 7 / 8 / 8.1 / 10
The network card 100/1000 Mb/s

Connection with IP camera via a web browser
CAUTION!
To maintain correct operation as snapshot or video recording you must run the browser as an administrator. You have to enter the camera IP address in the web browser address bar. If the IP address is correct user login window will be displayed: NOVUS-NVIP-5VE-6202-Vandal-

In the Language box, you can change the display language. Available languages: Polish, English and others.

CAUTION!
The default user is root and the default password is pass. The camera will ask you to change the default password during the first login (recommended). To do this, check the Modify password option and then enter and confirm the new password. In order to log into the camera without changing the password, press the OK button. The message will be displayed each time you log in, until you change your password, or select the Do not show again option.
