Camera and Monitor Installation
This manual will help you assemble and configure your digital video recorder system. It is easy to
setup your digital video recorder just follow the instructions on pages 15 through 29 for your
basic setup. If you have any comments questions about this manual, please feel free to call us at
800-335-9777.
1. Remove your monitor from the box for testing your cameras and cables. You can use a TV
set with a video input if you don’t have a monitor. Plug your monitor into a 110-120 AC power
source. Do not mistake the antenna input on the TV for a VIDEO INPUT. Monitors and TV’s
have video inputs clearly marked. The TV RCA input will look some what like the image
below (labeled VIDEO INPUT). This connector is an RCA female input jack.
2. Remove your cameras and camera power supplies from the box. Make sure your using
power supplies that have a REGULATED POWER SUPPLY 12 VOLT OUTPUT (very
important). Most power supplies have a label on the back that will tell you the type of output
the power supply is capable of producing. If there is no label, DO NOT USE THE POWER
SUPPLY.
15

NOTE: Unregulated power supplies are common and will damage your cameras.
3. Connect each one of your cameras to your regulated power supply and cable assembly.
Most cable assemblies are 100 ft long or more. You will see all types of cable configurations
here is one example of a cable below.
4. Connect each camera directly to the video monitor, using a new power adapter and cable for
each camera. This will test each component of your video system.
