Installing the System

Step 1.  Getting Started: Unpacking the Equipment

What’s in the box

Your system includes: 

• 

DVR 

• 

USB mouse

• 

Power adapter for DVR

• 

Remote control

Remove the equipment from its packaging and place it on a flat, clean surface. Inspect each item. If any visible damage is present, contact 
your supplier for a replacement. Verify that your order is complete. 

What you need

Although each security system installation is different, most require the following items not included with your system components:

• 

Cameras and cables compatible with the DVR. The 

VIDEO INPUT

 connectors on the back panel support analog cameras. Check the 

Specifications

 section of this guide for more information.

• 

IP cameras installed on the Ethernet network (LAN) associated with the DVR must be compatible. Check the 

Specifications

 section of 

this guide for more information. 

• 

Tools to install the cameras and route power and video cables

• 

Fasteners to attach the cameras to the mounting surfaces, calking

• 

VGA or HDMI compatible computer monitor to connect to the DVR. 

• 

Un-interuptable power supply (UPS) is recommended. This UPS is used to ensure system stability during voltage surges, sags, and 
outages. If a UPS is not available, a power strip with strong surge protection is highly recommended. 

Step 2.  Install the DVR

HDD Installation

If your DVR was purchased without an HDD, or you want to add an additional HDD or replace one, follow the guidelines shown here. The HDD 
installation should be performed before using your DVR. For lasting performance and reliability, install only security grade HDDs in your DVR. 
The chassis is designed to accommodate both 3.5 inch and 2.5 inch HDDs, with an HDD capacity up to 8 TB. 

CAUTION

Before performing this procedure, ensure that the power cord is not disconnected from the DVR.
