1. Pre-Installation
Before connecting your NVR (network video recorder) or cameras, please ensure the following safe installation
guidelines are adhered to.
• Do not place cords from the NVR where they can be pinched or stepped on.
• Do not place heavy objects on cords, or cover cords with rugs or carpet.
• Do not expose the NVR to excessive heat or moisture.
• Leave at least 50mm of space between the NVR and other objects to allow ample air circulation.
• Never immerse any component in water and do not spray cleaners or solvents on the cameras.
• Shut down and unplug the recorder before cleaning. When cleaning, use a damp, lint-free cloth only.
•
Service of your NVR or surveillance cameras should only be handled by qualified technicians.
1.1 Pre-Installation Safety Information
1. Connect the cameras to the NVR:
Using CAT5e/CAT6 LAN cables, connect to the network port of the NVR.
2. Connect camera power:
Cameras are powered by CAT5e/CAT6 LAN cable. No external power supply is needed.
3. Connect a display:
Using an HDMI or VGA cable, connect a monitor or television (not included).
4. Connect the mouse:
Connect the USB mouse to the rear USB port, saving the front port for easy USB backup.
5. Connect to your local network:
Using the included Ethernet patch cable, connect to your switch or router.
6. Connect NVR power:
Plug in the supplied AC power cord to the rear of the NVR.
Upon activating power, LED lights at the front of the NVR should turn on and the NVR will sound on startup. The
NVR will then run your surveillance user interface. Cameras and LAN / Internet will be detected automatically. This
completes a successful first boot of your surveillance system and you may begin configuring surveillance cameras.
1.2 Connecting your NVR and Cameras
The following section will detail connecting the NVR and surveillance cameras. It is recommended that cameras and
connections are tested before mounting. If there is no image, an error message or dark screen when first connecting
cameras, see the
