Quick Start Guide
Welcome!
Lets get started.
C
Connect the DVR to your HDTV (HDMI or VGA)
Connect the HDMI cable (supplied) to the HDMI input on the DVR, and connect the other end to
a spare HDMI input on the TV.
HDMI IN 2/MHL
VGA IN
HDMI IN 1(DVI)
We recommend using the HDMI connection
as it will provide you with the best display quality.
F
Connect to your Home Network
Connect the Ethernet cable (supplied) to the LAN connection on the DVR, and then connect the
other end to a spare port on your router or wireless access point.
It's important that you do this, as this allows you to access the router from your smartphone
or tablet. It also allows the DVR to connect to the Internet to update its internal clock so the
time it shows on the video is always accurate, and to send you email notifications.
