Connecting the USB Antenna

Connect the mini-USB connection on the
provided USB cable to the mini-USB port
on the USB antenna. Connect the other
end to a spare USB port at the rear of the
NVR.

When the USB antenna is connected to
the NVR you will see a blue LED at the top
and bottom.

If the NVR hasn’t detected the USB
antenna, you will see “Motion” at

the Main Menu instead of “Alarm”.
Make sure the antenna is connected
correctly then restart the NVR.

The top and bottom LED will flash blue
to indicate the USB antenna is initialising.
The LED will stop flashing when the

Pairing the PIR Movement Sensors

1. To access the “Sensor” menu, right-click the mouse at the Live View

screen, click “Menu”, click “Alarm” then click the “Sensor” tab.

2. Click “Begin Pair”.

3. Activate the movement sensor by moving in front of it. The LED will

flash red and the NVR will detect the sensor and add it to the sensor list.
Repeat this step for any other movement sensors.

Please note, to conserve battery power, the PIR movement sensor when
activated will wait five seconds to activate again.

Group - There are three options available to group your sensors. For

the PIR movement sensor it is recommended that you set this to “Gen­eral”. This means any movement within the vicinity of the sensor will
then activate the wireless siren to be activated when you select “Arm”
in the “Alarm Control” menu. You can change this group when you have
finished pairing.
