NOTE: Make sure NVR is in intended location before testing cameras. -
Plug the cameras into wall outlets with included smaller power adapters.
NOTE: you should see each camera appear on your TV/ monitor. You may now proceed to install cameras in the desired locations. -
Bring cameras to desired mounting locations, power on them and go back to NVR screen, wait for 5 minutes to see if they can stream fluently. If a camera does not stream well, adjust it to a location with less obstacles in-line-of-sight from the NVR. If they stream fluently, go ahead to mount the camer-as.
NOTE: select a least interfered Wi-Fi channel so your NVR performs its best Wi-Fi capability. In NVR’s menu – System setting – Network – NVR Wi-Fi hotspot, click “Adaptive Channel”
Positioning Your NVR and Cameras
- Camera distance from NVR can reach up to 300 ft. wire-lessly. Therefore, proper placement of the wireless NVR in your home will help ensure you achieve maximum coverage.
- Do NOT place near high voltage wires or other sources of electrical interference. Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
- Install the camera 2-3 meters (7-10 ft) above the ground. This height maximizes the detection range of the motion sensor.
- For dome cameras, they MUST be installed upside down for better waterproof performance and better motion sensor’s efficiency.
- For better motion detection performance, please install the camera angularly.
