BASIC SETUP
The system is designed to mount securely to the back of most LCD monitors with a VESA mount.
If desired, you can also leave the system in a standard horizontal position.
1. Mount the DVR
a. Position the mounting plate on the back of the
LCD monitor (with a VESA mount) until the
mounting holes on the back of the monitor are
clearly visible. Use the included screws to fasten
the mounting plate tightly to the monitor—
make
sure the hooks are facing up
.
b. Carefully place the system (front panel facing up)
over the hooks and slide down into place. The
system should be flush against the mounting plate
and sitting completely over all four hooks.
2. Connect the Cameras
a. Connect up to eight BNC cameras to the included
octopus cable. Connect the VGA connector of the
octopus cable to the
Camera Input
port on the
rear panel of the Blade DVR.
3. Connect a DVI monitor
a. Connect a DVI cable (not included) from the DVI
port on the rear panel of the Blade DVR to the DVI
port on the back of your LCD monitor.

: Use a DVI-to-VGA adapter to connect to a
VGA monitor.
4. Connect the Ethernet cable
a. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the LAN
port on the rear panel of system; connect the
other end of the Ethernet cable to an empty LAN
port on your router (not included).

panel of the system. Position the IR extender near
the front of your monitor, or where it will receive a
clear signal from the remote control.
