Router (WAN) and Internet Service (for remote viewing) If you purchased the system without a hard drive, you will need a hard drive if you wish to record videos from the cameras.

Attach provided antennas to cameras. NOTE: If antenna already has been screwed into the camera, please DO NOT unscrew it. Otherwise camera will be broken. Systems have two different antennas. One can be removed and the other cannot be, which is all-in-one.
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 is checked. At the bottom of the window you should see Network Status as Healthy Network. Click Show QR Code, you should see Cloud ID.

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.
