What you need
Although each security system installation is different, most require the following items not included with your system components:
•
Cameras and cables compatible with the DVR. The Video in ports on the back panel support most analog CCTV camera brands and Alibi
HD-TVI, AHD, CVI and CVBS analog cameras
•
IP cameras installed on the Ethernet network (LAN) that associated with the DVR must be Alibi IP cameras.
•
Tools to install the cameras and route power and video cables
•
Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces
•
VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor to connect to the DVR. (An HDMI cable is provided.)
•
Uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended. This device is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags, and
outages. If a UPS is not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended.
