Step 1. Install the DVR and monitor
For the following steps, refer to the back panel photo above for the location of connectors.

Place the DVR in a location that is secure, well ventilated and clean. The DVR should be positioned such that the back panel connectors
are accessible and the ventilation holes on the sides are not blocked.

Cable the VGA connector on the back of the DVR to your monitor.

If you plan to access your DVR remotely, or configure your DVR to transmit alerts, email, etc. to external servers, plug a drop cable
from your local area network (LAN) into the RJ-45 LAN connector on the back of the DVR. (By default, the DVR automatically acquires
network settings using DHCP.)
