8CH 1080P SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEMDVR INITIAL SETUP
DVR Initial Setup
Initial Setup
Prior to installing the security system, we highly recommend
that you test all components to ensure they are in good working
order. To do this, the DVR unit must be connected (temporarily)
to an HDMI compatible TV screen or computer monitor (not a
laptop or computer) to complete your initial setup. Once setup
is fully complete, the TV screen or computer monitor can be
disconnected and setup as per your requirements.
DVR Unit Connections
1. Connect each of the camera BNC extension cables to the
camera and power connectors taking note of the labelling on
the extension cable i.e. Do not connect the incorrect end of
the BNC cable to the DVR or the camera as it will not function
2. Connect the other end of the BNC extension cables to the
DVR pors marked ‘Video In’
3. Connect the 8-way power splitter to each of the BNC
extension cables (red)
4. Connect the ‘to camera’ power adaptor to the 8-way splitter
cable and plug into a mains outlet, then switch the outlet on
5. Connect the included HDMI cable to the back of the DVR unit
and
connect the other end of the cable to your monitor or TV (not
a computer or laptop)
NOTE: You must switch your TV or monitor to the correct INPUT
once the DVR unit has been powered on, for example HDMI 1
6. Connect the mouse to the USB por (on the back of the DVR
unit)
NOTE: Ensure you are connecting the 12V / 3A power adaptor
labeled ‘to cameras’ to the 8-way splitter cable
7. Connect the 12V / 2A power adaptor labeled ‘to DVR’ to the
DVR unit labeled DC12V and plug the other end into a mains
outlet
8. Switch the outlet on. The DVR unit will begin the boot
sequence
NOTE: Both the DVR unit and cameras operate as soon as they
are connected to a power source and the power adaptors are
switched on. To turn the cameras or DVR unit of, switch of the
power adaptors at the power outlet.
9. The Cocoon DVR system allows you to view footage remotely
either on compatible Smarphone, Tablets or internet-ready Windows PCs or Macs. If
you are wanting to set this up (instructions provided in “Use Apple or Android mobile
to access footage” on page 16) you must have a constant, smooth and stable
Internet connection from your modem/router via a LAN cable.
To connect your DVR to the internet:
a. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable into the back of the DVR into the network por
b. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a spare LAN (not WAN) por on your
network’s modem / router

8CH 1080P SECURITY CAMERA SYSTEMDVR INITIAL SETUP
Installation Location
Before installing the Security System, it is essential to plan where to locate the DVR unit.
Below are a few points to consider:
• The DVR unit should be positioned in a central location with easy access to mains
power, cameras and installed cables
• If you plan to view footage over the internet or on your mobile phone, the DVR unit
should also be located near and connected to your modem / router or ethernet
network point
• Plan out where you would like to place your cameras and test all connections BEFORE
permanently installing cables and cameras
• The DVR unit should be installed in a secure location to avoid tampering
• Do not place heavy objects on top of the DVR unit
• Do not block ventilation holes on the sides of the DVR unit or use in an enclosed area as
this may cause overheating
• Cameras should be placed coverly indoors where you do not want to see them every
day
• Cameras can be placed in plain sight to act as a deterrent to would-be intruders
• Cameras are weatherproof, however if installed outside should be done in protected
areas, such as under eaves
Once you have decided the location of the cameras and the DVR unit itself, use the
supplied screws to install the cameras in place and setup the DVR unit as per the
instructions provided in “DVR Unit Connections” on page 11.
Once this is completed, you can setup the basic features of the DVR.
