Installation
2.1 Installation Location
Before installing the Home 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 use remote viewing features, the DVR unit should be located near your modem /
router or Ethernet network point
• 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 top and sides of the DVR unit or use in an enclosed area
as this may cause overheating
• Plan out where you would like to place your cameras and test all connections BEFORE
permanently installing cables and cameras
• Cameras should be placed covertly indoors where you do not want to see them every day
• Outdoor cameras can be placed in plain sight to act as a deterrent to would-be intruders
2.2 DVR Unit Connections
1. Connect each of the camera BNC extension cables to the video and
power connectors taking note of the labelling on the extension cable
2. Connect the other end of the BNC extension cables to the DVR BNC
cable splitter, and then connect the DVR BNC cable splitter to the port
marked “Video In/Out”
3. Connect the 4-way power splitter to each of the BNC extension cables
(red)
4. 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
NOTE: You must switch your TV or monitor to the correct INPUT once the DVR
unit has been powered on
FOR EXAMPLE: HDMI1
NOTE: Connecting the DVR to your laptop will not work unless it has HDMI input
