Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your system, place the DVR in a secure, well-ventilated location near your router and a monitor. Run the provided Siamese cables from the camera locations back to the DVR, ensuring they are protected from sharp edges. Once connected, follow the on-screen configuration wizard to format the 2TB hard drive and set your recording schedules. Maintenance is minimal: periodically wipe the camera lenses with a clean, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust or spiderwebs that could obstruct the image. Ensure the DVR is plugged into a surge protector to prevent hardware damage from power fluctuations.
