Step One - Installing the Wi-Fi Antennas
1. Located at the rear of your NVR are two Wi-Fi antenna
connections. There is also a single Wi-Fi connection at the
rear of each camera.
2. As there are several Wi-Fi antennas provided, use the
two longer versions for your NVR and the shorter versions
for each camera.
3. Use a clockwise motion to connect. Make sure the
antenna is connected firmly but not excessively. It is
recommended to leave the antenna in a vertical position
for best reception.
