When all necessary cameras and monitors are setup in their permanent locations,
connect them to the DVR. Use the diagram in the Quick Start Guide and manual
for additional information.
When all connections have been made, connect the DVR to an appropriate power
supply. The DVR will boot up automatically.
Initial Setup
1. Make sure the cameras and the monitors are properly connected to the DVR.
2. The DVR should be placed in a dust and moisture free environment.
It must never be exposed to direct sunlight. Server room temperature is highly
recommended to reduce the chance of overheating. Overheating may cause
the DVR to become unstable.

buttons on the front keypad, mouse, or remote controller. Do not unplug the
power adapter or turn the DVR off during the boot process.
A UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) is highly recommended to prevent
malfunctioning of the DVR during a power outage.
