DVR Installation Safety Tips
1. Make sure the cameras and the monitors are properly connected to the DVR.

buttons on the front keypad, mouse, or remote controller. Do not unplug the
power adapter or turn the DVR off during the boot process.
A UPS (Uninterruptable Power Supply) is highly recommended to prevent
malfunctioning of the DVR during a power outage.
