INSTALL CAMERAS

Video surveillance laws vary from state to state. Check local regulations to be

sure you are operating in a legal manner.

Installaon Tips

• When selecting an outside location for your cameras, keep in mind that most

cameras are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C) with a

relative humidity of up to 95%. Avoid installing cameras in direct sunlight, and

consider wind chill and other environmental factors, too.

• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach. Route the wiring

so it does not interfere with power or telephone/cable lines and it should not

be where it could be easily cut. Create a plan for camera wire routing and for

camera angle.

• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic as needed.

In “high-risk” locations, have more than one camera cover the same area. This

provides camera redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage a camera.

Male

Female

• If you position cameras indoors, avoid pointing the camera at a glass window

to see outside. This may result in a bright white ring in the night vision image

because the light from the night vision LEDs may reflect off the window glass.

Take the following placement suggestions under consideration:

• Cabling Distance From DVR to Camera. The video signal sent from the camera

to the DVR is reduced over distance. The maximum distance allowed is 330

feet (100 meters). A 60 foot cable is included. If you need a cable longer than

60 feet, then use an RG59 cable (with suitable connectors).

• Do not submerge any camera.

• Mounting. Ensure the camera is mounted on a stable surface which is capable

of supporting 5 times the weight of the camera.

• Avoid direct exposure to the weather. Cameras which are weatherproof may

be mounted outside, such as under an eave or other overhang; however, the

image will be affected by rain, etc., landing on the lens. Do not allow direct

sunlight to land on the lens.

1. With the DVR connected to the camera, hold it in the location where you

want it mounted. Check the display on the monitor to verify that the view

from that location is acceptable.

2. Mount the camera(s) to the desired surface using the parts in the supplied

mounting kit. If mounting on drywall, use the drywall anchors supplied in

the kit.

3. Adjust the camera stand to ensure that the camera has a satisfactory view

of the area you would like to monitor. The camera has several adjustment

points to provide maximum flexibility when setting the view angle. Use a

Philip's head screwdriver (not included), to make any adjustments.

BASIC CONFIGURATION

Basic configuration lets you use the DVR's internal menu system to access all DVR

features. The easiest way to get started is to go through the Wizard quick setup and

then fine tune specific areas (such as screen resolution, etc.).

Some fields may require keyboard input. Select the field and a pop-up keyboard

displays. This keyboard supports alphanumeric and symbol keys. Shift once to

input a capital letter; shift again to return to lower case. Click

ESC

to close the

keyboard.

POWER ON AND ACCESS WIZARD

1. If your DVR is already connected to power, disconnect it. Reconnect the DVR

to the power supply; the DVR powers up and the POWER and HDD LEDs on

the front light up.

2. AertheDVRpowersupandthe
