NVR Quick Start Guide

Read this page 

before

 you go to the job site!

For maximum control and convenience, 

your system should be connected to the Internet

 via a local network 

router. For installation, you must be able to access this network through a personal computer. 

Internet connectivity allows you to use OvrC, a powerful remote maintenance service. See OvrC.com for details.

If your surveillance system is isolated from the Internet,

 go to SnapAV.com and download the technical reference 

manual for this product, which has a chapter that steps you through installation without using the web interface.
