DVR extension cable's RED power connector (male).

DVR's Video In connector (male).
The Video In ports on the back of the DVR are numbered. Do not
connect cameras to ports that your system does not support. If you
have 1 - 4 cameras, use ports labeled 1 - 4, etc.

one of the power splitter cable ends (male).
5. Repeat these steps to connect the other cameras to the DVR and to the splitter cable.

splitter.

INSTALL CAMERAS

Video surveillance laws vary from state to state. Check local regulations to be sure you are
operating in a legal manner.

Installation Tips

• When selecting an outside location for your cameras, keep in mind that most cameras
are designed to operate between 14°F to 122°F (-10°C to 50°C) with a relative humidity
of up to 95%. Avoid installing cameras in direct sunlight, and consider wind chill and other
environmental factors, too.
• Mount the camera in an area that is visible, but out of reach. Route the wiring so it does not
interfere with power or telephone/cable lines and it should not be where it could be easily cut.
Create a plan for camera wire routing and for camera angle.
• Adjust the camera angle so that it covers an area with high traffic as needed. In "high-
risk" locations, have more than one camera cover the same area. This provides camera
redundancy if a vandal attempts to damage a camera.
• If you position cameras indoors, avoid pointing the camera at a glass window to see outside.
This may result in a bright white ring in the night vision image because the light from the night
vision LEDs may reflect off the window glass.
Take the following placement suggestions under consideration:
