NVR Quick Start Guide

Read this page before you go to the job site!

For maximum control and convenience, your system should be connected to the Internet via a local network
router. For installation, you must be able to access this network through a personal computer.

Internet connectivity allows you to use OvrC, a powerful remote maintenance service. See OvrC.com for details.

If your surveillance system is isolated from the Internet, go to SnapAV.com and download the technical reference
manual for this product, which has a chapter that steps you through installation without using the web interface.

Required Equipment

} The NVR and all cameras to be installed
} Network connection for the NVR
} Admin rights to a network computer that can access the surveillance system
} Phillips screwdriver
} Two AAA batteries for the remote control

Additional Resources

You can acquire a PDF of the full NVR technical reference manual, hard drive installation guide, and other
materials from the product page at SnapAV.com.

If you are going to install extra hard drives in the recorder, do so now before beginning installation.
