1.4.1 Quick Setup Diagram
BEFORE INSTALLING ANYTHING WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU
CONNECT YOUR CAMERAS TO YOUR NVR AND TEST YOUR SYSTEM FIRST.
WE CHECK EVERYTHING TO MAKE SURE IT IS WORKING WHEN IT LEAVES US
BUT OCCASIONALLY THINGS FAIL AND IT IS BETTER TO KNOW NOW THAN
AFTER YOU HAVE FITTED EVERYTHING!
1. Connecting your cameras: Your Cameras have 2 plugs attached, one is a BNC
connector (for the video) the other is for power. Connect these plugs into the
sockets on the end of one of the cables included in the kit.
2. Connecting your NVR: At the other end of the cable there are two plugs, these
connect your camera to the NVR and also to the power supply. You will also
need to connect your NVR to a TV or monitor. We have included a HDMI cable
but you can also use the RCA (Video Out) socket or the VGA Socket on the
back of the NVR.
3. Switch on: Once you have connected all the cables successfully connect the
NVR & Camera power leads to a power outlet. Switch on your TV and select the
HDMI socket you have NVR connected to.

Please see the following diagrams showing what camera connection configurations
examples you are able to setup on the NVR. The grids below represent the live footage
view monitor that would be shown on the connected video monitor hardware.
PLEASE NOTE:
1. You cannot mix IP cameras with analogue cameras. If you connect IP camera(s)
to the NVR, via a network, then the IP camera(s) will have priority over analogue
cameras, and they will be the only sources the NVR records and displays live view.
2. TVI cameras take priority on groups of four channels; no other analogue format
can be used with in that group of four.
