Setting up your system:

Step 1: Plugging Everything in and Test

Part A: Bench test all equipment - Before mounting and installing your cameras, you want to make sure all the cameras are working and that you are happy with your purchase.

To bench test grab a known working, pre-made cable, and plug it into your NVR (Or DVR & power if TVI). This will help narrow down any issues with cabling or cameras in the future.

Part B: Plug in your cameras and your recorder.

Step 2: Mount the Cameras

This is when you want to actually put the cameras in their permanent locations and run the cable through the walls back to your .

Step 3: Choose your Method of Remote Access


VPN

We recommend, at minimum using a VPN (virtual private network) as the means by which you view your cameras remotely.

A VPN makes your internet connection more secure and offers both privacy and anonymity online. Organizations, governments, and businesses of all sizes use VPNs to secure remote connections to the local network for protection against malicious actors, malware, and other cyberthreats.
