WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock do not remove the cover, no
user-serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING: To prevent fire or shock hazards, do not expose the NVR system &
power adapters to rain or moisture. CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, match
the wide blade of the plug to the wide slot and fully insert.
Important Safeguards
In addition to the careful attention devoted to quality standards in the
manufacturing process of your product, safety is a major factor in the design
of every instrument. However, safety is your responsibility too. This sheet
lists important information that will help to ensure your enjoyment and proper
use of the product and accessory equipment. Please read them carefully before
operating and using your product.
General Cautions
1. All warnings and instructions in this manual should be followed. 2. Remove
the plug from the outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid aerosol
detergents. Use a water-dampened cloth for cleaning. 3. Do not use this
product in humid or wet places. 4. Keep enough space around the product for
ventilation. Slots and openings in the storage cabinet should not be blocked.
5. It is highly recommended to connect the product to a surge protector to
protect from damage caused by electrical surges. It is also recom-
mended to connect the product to an uninterrupted power supply (UPS), which
has an internal battery that will keep the product running in the event of a
power outage.
Installation
1. Read and Follow Instructions: All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the product is operated. Follow all operating
instructions.
2. Retain Instructions: The safety and operating instructions should be
retained for future reference. 3. Heed Warnings: Comply with all warnings on
the product and in the operating instructions. 4. Polarization: Do not defeat
the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug
has two blades with one wider
than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding
prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the
provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for
replacement of the obsolete outlet. 5. Power Sources: This product should be
operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. If
you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your location, consult your
video dealer or local power company. For products intended to operate from
battery power, or other sources, refer to the operating instructions. 6.
Overloading: Do not overload wall outlets or extension cords as this can
result in the risk of fire or electric shock. Overloaded AC outlets, extension
cords, frayed power cords, damaged or cracked wire insulation, and broken
plugs are dangerous. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Periodically
examine the cord, and if its appearance indicates damage or deteriorated
insulation, have it replaced by your service technician. 7. Power-Cord
Protection: Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to
be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them. Pay particular
attention to cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they

which is indicated by rapid blinking.
3. Look for a button at the bottom of the menu bar to add a new camera.

the table on the right side of the interface.
6. If the camera is successfully connected, click the “continue” button to
proceed. Check the live view for the newly-added camera to confirm that it is
connecting properly.
7. If you have issues with the live view, try resetting the camera to send it
back into “Sync mode” (see instruction for how to reset the Camera), then
initiate the search process again.
TIP! – If you are replacing a camera, please delete the camera from the
connected device first, to make room for a new camera.
It is possible to change the channel assigned to the camera by deleting it
then re-adding it.

set/Sync button for 10 seconds

When you are installing the cameras, please consider the position of the camera on the screen. e.g.,
Front Gate
Front Porch
Garage
Backyard
2. Add IPC Repeater
The IPC Repeater can be added to extend the range of the camera by relaying
the signal(Air Bridge Function). If the Repeater came with the system, it is
already paired with the system, but if you are adding an IPC repeater, you
will need to add the IPC Repeater by following the following steps
If your IPC Repeater came with the system kit, please skip the following.
IPC Repeater ( Model : CVTAR4S2 )

4. Auto Repeater
The Auto Repeater function only works with Auto Repeater capable cameras such
as CVT30WB, CVT-35WB , and IPC Repeater.
1. Please try to maintain good signal and constant power with all connected
devices.
