on your router or wireless access point.
It’s important that you do this as this allows you to access the NVR from your smartphone or tablet and to send
you email notifications. It also allows the NVR to connect to the Internet to update its internal clock.
Connect the supplied mouse (1) to the USB port located at the back of the NVR. You can connect a flash drive or hard
drive (not supplied) to the front USB port to back up your video recordings and to perform a firmware update.
Connect the supplied power adapter (1) to the power input on the NVR then connect the power adapter to a spare wall
socket.
All the connections have now been completed. You’re now ready to run through “The Setup Wizard” quick start guide
to configure the NVR.
Connect the supplied HDMI cable to the HDMI input on the NVR then connect the other end to a spare HDMI input (1)
on your HDTV. Make sure the video input on the HDTV matches the physical connection used to connect the NVR.
If you have a Monitor with a VGA connection, connect a VGA cable (not supplied) to the VGA output on the NVR then
connect the other end to the VGA input (1) on your Monitor.

To connect your camera(s) to the NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN connection on the
camera then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable (1) into one of the camera inputs on the back of the NVR.
It doesn’t really matter which input you use as they are quite versatile and will be configured in a later step. Please
note; the Ethernet cable is the same at both ends so it doesn’t matter which end plugs into the camera or NVR.
