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 192.168.1.200, appropriate address for the camera ranges
from 192.168.1.0 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
User 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 using 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. 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.
2.7 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
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.
