There will be a delay of a few seconds while the NVR communicates with the cameras
before their video stream appears. Cameras will appear on screen in the order that they are
connected, regardless of which port on the PoE block they are plugged into.
Cameras not directly connected to the NVR through the PoE ports will require their own power
supply (available separately). Please consult the User Manual or Remote Monitoring Guide for
cameras connecting to the NVR through a local network or through the Internet, respectively.
INSTALLING YOUR CAMERAS
When installing your cameras, it is important to select a proper site not only for field of view, but
for other considerations as well. The optimal location for your camera will depend on your unique
circumstances. As a general rule, the locations highlighted in green in the picture to the right indicate
the best locations to mount your cameras, but you should also take into consideration:
• Distance from NVR.
• Proximity to high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference.
• Camera should be out of reach to avoid damage.
• Avoid direct exposure to weather.
• Do not place camera behind a window.
