cable.
2. Connect the female 12V DC power connector on the camera cable to the male power
connector on the included extension cable.
3. Connect the BNC cable on the extension cable to one of the
Video Input
ports on the
DVR. Make note of the port number where you connect the camera, as it will be used
when configuring the DVR to communicate with the camera.
4. Connect the power connector on the extension cable to the included power adapter.
Plug the power adapter into a power outlet.
CAUTION

Make sure to disconnect the power adapter before installing the camera. The camera will begin
