This manual is designed to be used as a quick start guide alongside the informative general user
interface (GUI) of the NVR.

Quick Notes;
• The Cameras supplied in the kit are preregistered to the NVR.
• Cameras supplied separately will need to be registered to the NVR.
• The NVR will require a connection to a monitor to be programmed.
• Please format the pre-installed Hard Drive during setup.
• Although the system utilizes the latest in Wire Free technology the NVR and
cameras will require a power supply each.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
• Please read this manual and keep for later use

• Do not use accessory devices not recommended by the manufacturer

• Please use the power adapter equipped for the unit

• Please do not touch any control parts not mentioned in the manual.
Incorrect adjustment of a control part not mentioned in the manual may

 IP CAMERA DESCRIPTION

Although the housing of the IPC is weatherproof, the LAN port and power
connection require weatherproof housing
For best wire free signal insure system antennas run parallel;

Wire Free Technology

The stated wire free range of 150 meters is across an open field. Any line of
transmission obstruction will reduce the useful range. As a general rule, for every
obstacle passed the open field strength is halved.

When siting units consider minimising the number of walls, doors, tress, hills
within landscaping or other solid objects that exist along the line of transmission-
which can contribute to signal ‘Dead Zones’. Also avoid conductors such as metal.

Before installation, temporarily power the system in the intended position and
check the signal quality (Tip; an extension lead socket to power a camera is useful
in this scenario).

Small adjustments to the position of either transmitter (Camera) or receiver (NVR)

can make a huge difference to performance.

Avoid siting transmitter or receiver units in close proximity to other wire free
equipment such as routers, baby monitors or sources of electrical energy such as
microwave ovens, voltage cables etc.

specifically when adjusting settings on the router which is sometimes required for
remote viewing.

To remote view the NVR using the recommended APP or PC platform.

A cable from the LAN port on the rear of NVR to a spare LAN port on the router is
required, then reboot the NVR.

Once the NVR has been added to the network there are different methods to view
the system remotely:

Smart-phone APP (IOS/Android)

Connect network cable from the NVR to router > Select Fast Network from the
Shortcut menu of the NVR

The network status should state ‘Healthy Network’, if not please ensure DHCP is
enabled in the Network Menu and reboot the NVR, check connections and replace
network cable if necessary.
