If NetVu SmartVu cameras are connected to the Uniplex NVR in this way and the Uniplex
configuration mode is set to Auto then the cameras will be automatically detected, assigned
secure IP addresses on the camera (CIPTV) LAN and given a physical channel number on the NVR.
If neither the Uniplex Appliance NVR endpoint ports nor NetVu NVSE Network Extenders are being
used, it is strongly recommended that cameras are still segregated by the Camera Subnet and
network. This can be achieved using either a suitable configured managed switch, or as a
minimum, with a dumb switch connected to the Camera VLAN / Subnet Ethernet port of the NVR.
On the UPXA and UPXD this is the ETH-B port by default.
Cameras can also be allocated on the client's main network, referred to as the 'Corporate
Network'. However, this offers little Cyber security or management of the endpoints and is not
recommended practice.
Also, if on the Camera Endpoint Subnet, or the same subnet on the Corporate connection,
Cameras can be identified by MAC address, so if these are noted during installation, the correct
channel and IP address can be allocated automatically.
IP addresses will NOT be changed on the Corporate network as part of the discovery process, as it
is assumed that any cameras and their IP addresses on the Corporate network will be managed by
the person with IT responsibility for that network.
IP addresses on the Camera Subnet will be automatically set in the Camera according to the
standard NetVu IP numbering scheme.
To manually add NetVu SmartVu IP cameras to the Uniplex NVR take the following steps.
