1.SAFETYINSTRUCTION
①Install the NVR in sufficiently ventilated spaces to prevent plug vents.
②Install the NVR on a flat wall or other flat surfaces, avoid mounting in a severe vibration environment.
③Only use the power adapter plug contained in the material supplied since other power adapter plugs
could damage the devices. Ensure access to the power adapter plug is not obstructed by
furniture or such. Pay attention that the plug and cable are in perfect condition. Kinked or worn cable
represents the risk of a fatal accident!
④Unauthorized modification or reconstruction is not permitted. Under no circumstances open the
devices or complete any repair work yourself. Observe all local directives and regulations.

4.SETUPTHEHARDWARE
4.1 NVR
①Place the stand on the back of the NVR on a table or install to other flat surfaces, position the
antenna.
②Connect the mousetothemouseportonthebackoftheNVR.
③Connect an AC adaptor to the power input on the back of the NVR. Connect the other end of the
adapter to a standard indoor power outlet. The NVR will power on automatically and start initialize,
Please wait until initialization is completed.
④The screen of NVR remains dark until the cameras are powered on.
4.2 Camera
General
The camera included with your monitor is weatherproof and have an IP66 rating. Water can be sprayed
on them and they will still work; however, the cameras cannot be submerged.
Although the cameras can be exposed directly to the rain, it is recommended that, if they are used
outdoors, they should be mounted under some type of cover like a patio overhang or eave. As rainwater
drops start to dry on the camera glass, it can create spots that will reflect the light from the infrared LEDs
used for night vision, thus causing lower quality video.
Also, as dust, grime, and cobwebs accumulate on the camera glass, they can reflect light from the
infrared LED and might lower video quality. Periodically clean the lens glass with a soft cloth.
Placement Considerations
Consider the following when placing cameras:
• The clearest line-of-sight between the camera and NVR is best.
- Walls, especially brick and concrete, shorten the transmission distance.
- Placement next to windows allows better transmission.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6~30 feet for the camera. The farther away an object is, the less
accurate the motion detection.
• Avoid having a direct light source in the view of the camera, including street lights, ceiling or floor lamps,
spotlights in the driveway, etc.
• Rainfall, pool water ripples/reflections, tree/shrub leaves blowing in the wind – and the shadows they
create can generate motion detection false alarms.
• When you are positioning the camera, bring the monitor along; it’s much easier to get the camera into
the right position when you have the display handy.
7
Install the Camera(s)
①Position the camera where you want it, plug it into power, and check video on the NVR. Move the
camera if the view is not what you want.
②Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location of the screw
holes.
③Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.
④Tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely in place.
4.3 Set the Antenna Extension
The included antenna extension is supplied to extend the transmitting distance between the camera and
NVR and provide a better signal.
You can use the included Antenna Extension cable
if your setup requires the signal be transmitted
through an obstacle that severely weakens it.
Simply replace the camera antenna with the
Antenna Extension cable and mount it on the
opposing side of the obstacle.
