FIRST!
To start using your DVR, you need the following -
1. A high-definition TV capable of displaying 720p
or 1080p video. Look at the ports on the back of
your TV to make sure it has an HDMI input.
2. A router with a broadband Internet connec-
tion.
3. A mobile device (Android or iOS) to download
the free SwannView Link app.
Carefully unpack each item and discard any
packaging not required.

Congratulations on the purchase of your Swann DVR. This quick start guide will assist you on getting your DVR up and
running as soon as possible. We recommend that you connect everything and give it a try before you do a permanent
installation, to make sure nothing was damaged during shipping. On the other side is a detailed connection map which
illustrates the various connections on the DVR.
