4. INSTALLATION
4.1MonitorInstallation
1.
Place the monitor in a location with clear reception from your camera(s).
2. Connect an AC adapter to the power input on the side of the NVR. Connect the other end
of the adapter to a standard power outlet. The NVR will power on automatically and start to
initialize. Please wait until initialization is completed.
3. The NVR will request that you input a password for your remote app when you use the
system for the first time. After setting up the password, the monitor will initialize.
Note: Password should be 1~20 digits. The password can be letter(s) and/or
number(s). Do not use symbols or space in password.

10
Note: If you forget the password, you can Simple Restore the NVR to reset it. (see
page 21)
4.2CameraInstallation
1. General
The camera included with your monitor is weatherproof and has 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, if used outdoors, it is
recommended they be mounted under some type of cover like an overhang or eave. As
rainwater droplets start to dry on the camera glass, they 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 to ensure best video quality.
2. Placement Considerations
Note: Before installing the cameras permanently, please test the cameras with
NVR first to make sure cameras are working properly.
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 signal transmission.
• Optimized motion detection range is 6~18 feet from the camera. The further 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.

11
3. Install the Camera(s)
a) Position the camera where you want it, plug into power, and check video on the NVR.
Move the camera to obtain desired view.
b) Hold the base of the camera stand where you want to mount it and mark the location for
the screw holes.
c) Use the included screws and anchors to attach the base to the wall or ceiling.
d) Tug gently on the stand to make sure it is securely installed.
4.3UsingtheAntennaExtension
You can use the Antenna Extension cable (SKU#
EXTA10B) 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.
5. USING THE VS2072
Your system comes with 2 cameras. The monitor displays in quad view mode when you
power on both the monitor and camera.
The NVR has a built in a 7” touchscreen monitor. All of the operating menus can be
accessed on the touchscreen. You can also use a mouse to control all the menus (through
the USB port).
Here are some basic operations you may need when you use the system. You can
refer to content in the following manual for detail.

drive by tapping the corresponding icons on top of the screen.
Please note: The back-up feature is only available when you have a USB memory drive
connected to the NVR. You can only back up one recording file at a time.
6.2SystemSetup
In System Setup, we have 7 selections: Language, Time Setup, Wireless Internet, Wireless
Channel, Camera Audio Enable, Volume Setup, Auto Close

14
6.2.1Language
Select the system language you want to use. The default language is English.
6.2.2TimeSetup

time zone where the system is used.
If you choose not to sync the time with the server, you can set up the system date and time
manually here.
6.2.3WirelessInternet
To use the Remote View feature for the system, you need to enable the WLAN on the NVR.
We recommend using DHCP for the device. Check the Network Setup to see if DHCP is
enabled. If not using DHCP, you can also set up your own IP Address for the device.
Go to Hotspot list to choose a WiFi network for your device. Select your WiFi and input
the password for the router.
After you successfully add the device to your router, you can see the network status on
the screen.

6.2.4WirelessChannel
This section is used to choose the channel of the wireless connection between the NVR and
the IP cameras. The default setting of Region is FCC and the WiFi channel is 1. If the
wireless connection between NVR and camera is working on your device, there’s no need to
change the setting here.
If there is interference in the wireless connection between the NVR and the cameras due to
other 2.4GHz devices in the area, you can try other channels until you find one that works.
6.2.5CameraAudioEnable
This is to enable audio for live view and recording files of each camera. The default setting is
ON for all channels. If audio recording is not allowed by local law, you can disable audio for
recording files.
6.2.6Volumesetup
This is used to adjust the volume for live view. You can also turn On/Off the volume from the
icon on the live view screen.

16
6.2.7AutoClose
This is for the monitor “Power Save” feature. If you enable this feature, the monitor screen
will turn off after there’s no motion for a designated period of time. For example, if you
choose 10 minutes, when there’s no motion trigger from the cameras for 10 minutes, the
monitor screen will turn off. It will automatically turn on once there’s motion from the
cameras.
If you want to keep the monitor screen on all the time, make sure the Auto Close feature is
disabled.
6.3RecordSetup
Set up recording configurations in this section.

17
6.3.1RecordSchedule
Set up schedules for motion recording. The default setting is to enable schedule 1 for 24/7
motion recording. That means the system will record any motion at any time.
If you do not want the system to record all motions all the time, you can modify the schedule.
Please note, you will need to modify schedule 1’s default setting. Select for channel, day and
time. You can set up multiple schedules for different cameras. A maximum of four recording
schedules are available.

18
6.3.2StorageDevice

6.3.4Overwrite
Activating this function deletes the oldest files when you want to record new activity but the
memory card is full.
6.4MatchCode(Pairing)
In the Match Code section, you can pair additional cameras to the NVR. The NVR can then
recognize and display video from them. The cameras that come with this system are already
paired.
6.4.1PairadditionalcamerastotheNVR
