Installing the Wi-Fi Antenna 1
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.
Located at the rear
of the NVR and the
camera is a connection
for the Wi-Fi antenna.
As there are several Wi-Fi antennas
provided, use the longer version for
the NVR and the shorter ones for the
camera.

Connect the Ethernet cable (supplied) to the LAN connection on the NVR, and then connect the other end to a spare
port on your router or Wi-Fi network.
It’s important that you do this, as this allows you to access the NVR from your smartphone or tablet. It also allows
the NVR to connect to the Internet to update its internal clock so the time it shows on the video is always accurate,
and to send you email notifications.
