Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin, ensure you have a 3.5-inch SATA hard drive (up to 6TB) to install inside the unit using the included screws. Connect your cameras to the BNC ports for analog signals or use your network switch for IP cameras. Connect the DVR to your local network via the Ethernet port to enable remote mobile access. Use the provided USB mouse to navigate the on-screen menu to format your hard drive and set up your recording schedule. For long-term care, keep the device in a well-ventilated, dust-free environment and use a surge-protected power strip to safeguard the internal components from electrical spikes.
