SECTION 1: GETTING STARTED

SECTION 1

Getting Started: Unpacking Your System

For most installations, Supercircuits video systems come with everything needed to install and operate
your video surveillance system. If your system uses multiple power supplies, you may also need multi­outlet power strips.

1.1 Unpacking the equipment

Remove the equipment from its packaging and place it on a at, clean surface. Inspect each item. If any
visible damage is present, contact your supplier or Supercircuits for a replacement.

Verify that your order is complete. Within your order you should nd:

• The number of cameras you ordered. Each camera includes mounting screws and a power adapter

(unless you ordered a single universal power supply for your system)

• Monitor with the associated video and power cables

• DVR with power cables

• A 100’ BNC video/power cable for each camera

• Any other accessories ordered

NOTE

For larger systems, components may ship separately.
