Included in the box is a set of video & power cables for each camera provided. You will see a label on each end, denoting
which end is plugged into which connection. Connect the yellow connection for video and the red connection for power.
Connect the yellow connection on the other end of the cable to each of the video inputs on the DVR. Use the supplied
power splitter to connect to the red connection and then connect the power adapter to the power splitter as illustrated.
Connect the Ethernet cable (supplied) to the LAN connection on the DVR, and then connect the other end to a spare
port on your router or wireless access point.
It’s important that you do this, as this allows you to access the router from your smartphone or tablet. It also allows
the DVR to connect to the Internet to update its internal clock so the time it shows on the video is always accurate, and
to send you email notifications.
Connect the mouse (supplied) to the USB port located at the back of the DVR.
Connect the power adapter (supplied) to the power input on the DVR. There will be a label on the power adapter
indicating that it is for the DVR and not the cameras.
All the connections have now been completed. You’re now ready to run through “The Setup Wizard” to configure your
DVR and to pair the alarm sensors, siren and remote control.
