Welcome! Lets get started.

FIRST!

To start using your NVR, you need the following:

1) A high-definition TV capable of displaying 720p

or 1080p video. Look at the ports on the back of

your TV to make sure it has an HDMI input.

2) A router with a broadband Internet connec-

tion.

3) A mobile device (Android or iOS) to download

the free SwannView Link app.

Carefully unpack each item and discard any

packaging not required.

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. To make sure nothing was damaged during shipping, we recommend that you connect

everything and give it a try before you do a permanent installation.

FCC Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.

These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against

harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment

generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause

harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If

this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television

reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and

on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that

to which the receiver is connected

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

Caution: Any changes or modifications to this device not explicitly

approved by manufacturer could void your authority to operate this

equipment. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation

is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause

harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference

received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

What does this mean?

1) Located at the rear of your NVR are two antenna sockets.

There is also a single antenna socket at the rear of each

camera.

2) As there are several antennas provided, use the two

longer versions for your NVR and the shorter versions for

each camera.

3) Turn the antenna in a clockwise motion to connect.

Don’t use excessive force when connecting as it just needs

a firm connection to fasten (tools should not be required).

Leave the antennas in a vertical position for best reception.
