• Ensure ample room for audio and video cables
• When routing cables, ensure that the bend radius of the cables is no less than five times than its diameter.
•  Connect the alarm cable.
• Allow at least 2 cm (~0.75-inch) of space between racks mounted devices.
•  Ensure the NVR is grounded.
•  The environmental temperature should be within the range of -10° to +55° C, +14° to +131° F.
•  Environmental humidity should be within the range of 10% to 90%.

2.2 Hard Disk Drive Installation

Before You Start

1.  Paste the drill template on the wall or ceiling, and drill holes according to the marked holes on the drill template.
2.  If you need to route cables through the wall or ceiling, drill a cable hole according to the drill template. Skip this step if you want to route the cables on the surface of the wall or ceiling.
3.  Route the camera cables.
4.  Install the camera to the wall or ceiling with screws.NOTE: The supplied screw package contains both self-tapping screws and expansion bolts.If the ceiling is concrete, expansion bolts are required to fix the camera. If the ceiling is wood, self-tapping screws are required.
5. Adjust the view angle of the camera.3-axis (pan/tilt/rotation) adjusting allows adjustment for optimum camera rotation and placement.a) Loosen the 3-axis adjusting nut.b) Adjust the panning, tilting. and rotation position of the camera. The panning adjusting range is from 0° to 360°, tilting range is from 0° to 90° and rotation range is 0° to 360°.c) Tighten the adjusting nut

Before You StartBoth wall mounting and ceiling mounting are suitable for the bullet camera. Wall mounting will be taken as an example in this section.

Take the wall mounting steps as a reference for ceiling mounting.You need to purchase a junction box first.

1.  Paste the drill template (supplied) to the desired mounting position on the wall.
2.  Drill the screw holes and the cable hole (optional) in the wall according to the drill template.NOTE: Drill the cable hole, if adopting a ceiling outlet to route the cable.
3. Disassemble the junction box, and align the camera screw holes with those on the junction box’s cover.
4.  Fix the camera on the junction box’s cover with screws.
5. Secure the junction box’s body to the wall with three supplied screws.
6. Route the cables through the cable hole.
7. Combine the junction box cover with its body with three screws on the junction box‘s cover.
8. Repeat steps 5 of 3.1 Ceiling Mounting to complete the installation.

3.3 Waterproof Measures

If the camera is installed outdoors, use the waterproof accessory or tape to waterproof the cables.Otherwise, the cables might get wet or a short circuit occurs.

3.3.1 Install Network Cable Waterproof Jacket

1. Feed the network cable through ① and ③ in order.
2. Fix ② on the network cable between ① and ③.
3. Place ⑤ onto the end of ⑥, and plug the RJ-45 male connector into the RJ-45 female connector.
4. Screw ③ to ⑥ clockwise.
5. Push ② into ③.
6. Secure ① with the ③ in the clockwise direction.

3.3.2 Waterproof Other CablesAfter routing and connecting the cables, use waterproof tape to wrap up the cables. Connected cables and spare cables both should be wrapped as the figures below.

 Menu Operation

4.1 Startup and Shutdown

To start your NVR:

1.  Check the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the device. The Power button on the front panel should be red, indicating the device is receiving power.
2.  Plug the power adapter into supply power to the NVR, there is no on/off switch. The Power LED should turn blue. The unit will start.After the device starts up, the wizard will guide you through the initial settings, including modifying password, date and time settings, network settings, HDD initializing, and recording.

To shut down the NVR:

1.  Enter the Shutdown menu. Go to Menu > Shutdown.
2.  Select Shutdown.
3. Click Yes.

4.2 Activate Your NVR

Purpose

For first-time access, you need to activate the NVR by setting an admin password. No operation is allowed before activation. You can also activate the NVR via Web Browser, SADP or client software.

1. Input the same password in the text field of Create New Password and Confirm New Password. STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED − We highly recommend that you create a strong password of your own choosing (using a minimum of eight characters, including at least three of the following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. We also recommend that you reset your password regularly. Especially in high-security systems, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.Proper configuration of all passwords and other security settings is the responsibility of the installer and/or end-user.
2. Enter IP Camera Activation Password to set the IP camera activation password.
3. Select Area/Country.
4. Click OK.

4.3 Use the Setup WizardThe Setup Wizard can guide you to configure the system resolution, system date/time, HDD initialization, IP camera management, etc.4.4 Add IP Cameras4.4.1 Wi-Fi Kit CamerasThe supplied Wi-Fi kit cameras can connect to the NVR automatically after it is powered on.

1.  Connect the NVR to a display.
2.  Connect cameras 01, 02, 03, and 04 to the NVR. The cameras connect to the NVR’s Wi-Fi automatically.NOTE: Make sure the distance between cameras 01, 02, 03, 04, and the NVR is no more than 49 ft (15 m).
3. (Optional) If you want to install a camera beyond the NVR’s Wi-Fi distance, you can enable the NVR’s repeater function. The repeater function allows a camera with the repeater function to serve as a range extender for another camera beyond the reach of the NVR’s Wi-Fi.A Wi-Fi camera beyond the NVR’s Wi-Fi range can automatically connect to the NVR by using a nearby Wi-Fi camera as a repeater.

1.  Right-click the screen and select Menu > Camera.
2. Click the Enable Repeater button 1 to enable the NVR’s repeater function.Make sure the distance between each camera and the NVR is no more than 49 ft (15m), the NVR’s maximum Wi-Fi range. Any camera beyond this range can use an in-range camera’s repeater function to communicate with the NVR. The camera’s repeater function can extend the range to another camera an additional 49 ft (15 m). The Wi-Fi range will vary by local conditions (e.g., number of walls, materials, electrical interference, etc.).
3.  Install the camera that is to be used as a repeater at the desired position within the NVR’s Wi-Fi range, and power it on.
4.  Click the in-range repeater camera’s Repeater switch 3 so that it toggles to the right (it will display a green background) to enable its repeater function.
5. Install the camera at the desired position beyond the NVR’s normal range and power it on. It will then connect to the NVR through the repeater camera.

NOTE:Only one camera can use anyone camera’s repeater function.The repeater function cannot be daisy-chained.

NOTE: To disable a camera’s repeater function, click the Repeater switch 3 so that it toggles to the left (the background will no longer be green).To disable the NVR’s repeater function, click the Disable Repeater button 2.
