STEP 5 Connecting the Cameras

IMPORTANT! If your bundle came with specialty cameras, such as a PTZ, please consult the instructions for that camera first.

1. Connect the BNC and power leads on the camera to the matching connectors on the power and video cable.

NOTE: The male power end fits into the matching power lead on the camera.

2. Connect the BNC connector on the other end of the cable to any of the Video In ports on the back of the DVR.

3. Plug one of the power leads on the power splitter into the power lead on the power and video cable.

4. Repeat for each camera included with this package to ensure proper connection and function.

5. Connect the single end of the power splitter to the power adapter.

6. Plug the power adapter into a surge protector. You should now see a live video feed from each of your cameras.

Depending on your

package, you may have more than one camera power supply and power splitter.
