Installation Tips & Tricks

One of the most important things to decide early on is where you’re going to install

the DVR. There are several considerations to make, and some of them conict with

one another.

• Your DVR needs to be located in a central location to allow you maximum options

when placing your cameras. This is true whether your cameras are connected

via cables or wirelessly - one way, you’ll have to physically install cabling, and

wireless systems still have a limited range.

• On the other hand, your DVR should be installed somewhere secure. If the DVR is

too accessible it could be sabotaged or removed by an intruder.

• Ideally, assuming that you wish to use most features this DVR oers, it should be

installed close to a network access point. There is, however, no problem using a

long network cable - a Cat 5e Ethernet cable up to approximately three hundred

feet (about 90m) should work. Dierent network cable standards will oer a

longer or shorter range.

IMPORTANT: A note about operation

• We strongly recommend you use a USB mouse (one is included) for setup

and operation of the DVR.

• Your DVR is like a small, keyboardless computer and like most computers,

the fastest and easiest method for navigating through the menus and

their various options is with the mouse.

• Your remote control is ideal for those times your DVR is out of arms reach.
