2.4 Connecting the Unit

Before final installation, the complete WD ReadyView™ system (NVR, cameras, cables, power supply) should be connected for app installation and testing purposes. A desk or table near your Wi-Fi router may be useful when assembling the system. Follow the steps below to connect the system. The WD ReadyView Quick Install Guide also illustrates this process.
1. Connect the cameras, Cat 5 cables, and power to the NVR. a. Using the 100 ft Cat 5 cables supplied with the WD ReadyView kit, connect the
cameras to the numbered PoE ports in sequence. For example, connect the first camera to port #1. Connect the second camera to port #2, and so on. Failure to connect the cameras in order will cause the first four cameras to be displayed on two screens. Do not unspool the entire cable during testing; remove the outer cellophane and extend a few feet from each end. Note that the weather-resistant connector is designed to be connected to the camera.
