1.Connect the power and BNC ends of the security camera to an extension cable. Ensure these connections are secure, and shielded from weather, moisture or other hazards. Though Swann cameras use low voltage DC power supplies, there is still the possibility of short circuits if water gets into the power plug or socket.
2.If you have multiple cameras which share a power adapter, connect the DC end on the extension cables to the 4 way power splitter plugs. If you’ve got a dedicated power supply for each camera, skip this step.
3.Connect the camera power supply to the other end of the cable or power splitter, as applicable.
4.Connect the BNC end of the extension cables to the camera connections on the back of the DVR unit (CH1 ~ CH4).
5.Repeat steps 1 ~ 4 for each camera.
6.If your camera has a microphone, connect the audio out to one of the audio input channels.
