Congratulations on the purchase of your Swann NVR. This quick start guide will assist you on getting your NVR up and
running as soon as possible. We recommend that you connect everything and give it a try before you do a permanent
installation, to make sure nothing was damaged during shipping. On the other side is a detailed connection map which
illustrates the various connections on the NVR.

Step One - Installing the Wi-Fi Antennas
1. Located at the rear of your NVR are two Wi-Fi antenna
connections. There is also a single Wi-Fi connection at the
rear of each camera.
2. As there are several Wi-Fi antennas provided, use the
two longer versions for your NVR and the shorter versions
for each camera.
3. Use a clockwise motion to connect. Make sure the
antenna is connected firmly but not excessively. It is
recommended to leave the antenna in a vertical position
for best reception.
