3.1 Check Unpacked DVR
When you receive the DVR from the forwarding agent, please check whether there is any
visible damage. The protective materials used for the package of the DVR can protect
most accidental clashes during transportation. Then you can open the box to check the
accessories.
Please check the items in accordance with the list. Finally you can remove the protective
film of the DVR.

Remote control is not a standard accessory and it is not included in the accessory bag.
