CONNECTING AND POWERING ON THE DVR
Note: We recommend using a surge protected power bar and/or Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) backup to prevent damage to
your DVR system.
1. Insert the power cord into the
power supply.
2. Plug the power cord into a power outlet. 3. Insert the power supply wire into the
rear DC 12V port on the DVR.
4. The DVR will turn on and display the main viewing area after a few moments of initializing.
CONNECTING YOUR DVR TO THE ROUTER
1. Power off the DVR by removing the power cable from the back of the DVR.
2. Connect the included network cable to the back of the DVR in the “Ethernet”
port (LAN).
3. Connect the other end of the network cable to an available port on the
router. The port should be labeled 1-4, or 1-8.
4. Power on the DVR by reconnecting the power cable on the back of the DVR.
CONNECTING ADDITIONAL DEVICES TO THE DVR...continued
Note: If you look at the router there should be a green “link” light
indicating that the DVR is properly connected to the port that it
was plugged into. There will also be an amber and green “link”
light to the right of the Ethernet connection on the back of the
DVR to indicate a proper connection to the router. If both “link”
lights are illuminated, the DVR is properly connected to the router
and you can proceed with the next step.
