VGA or HDMI cables for connection to the TV/PC monitor. Router (WAN) and Internet Service (for remote viewing) Ethernet cable for connecting the NVR to the Router If you purchased the system without a hard drive, you will need a hard drive if you wish to record videos from the cameras.

Best placement of cameras in their final location The NVR’s signal coverage is circular with the NVR’s antennas in the center. Signal is strongest around the combined NVR antennas and weak in the area immediately between the 2 antennas. For best signal reception the cameras should be placed around the NVR and as close to the same horizontal plane as the location of the NVR. The camera antennas should be vertical or perpendicular to the orientation of the antennas on the NVR.
Check Network Status: With the NVR connected to your router via an Ethernet cable, navigate to System setup > Network setup, make sure DHCP, Cloud(P2P) and Enable are checked. In the middle of the window you should see Cloud status as ONLINE and Network Status as Healthy Network.
Once the system is “Online” you will be able to access videos from the cameras remotely by PC or Smart Phone (More on this in the next Section of this manual). If the system does not come “Online” please do the following: 1.Make sure the light at the network port of the NVR is flashing which indicates active communication with the router. Re-seat or replace the cable if necessary. 2. In System Setup>Network Setup page, please make sure Enable is checked, tick off DHCP, click Apply.
