What does this mean?

Included with your NVR is an 8-port PoE switch that gives you the ability to connect an additional eight cameras (of the

same model) to your local network. Just like your NVR, each camera input on the PoE switch provides power to each

camera connected. Please note, connect your provided cameras to the NVR first then connect any additional cameras

to the PoE switch. The PoE switch and the NVR must be connected to the same network for successful connection.

Getting to know your PoE Switch

1) Status LEDs - The

Connect your Cameras 1

To connect your cameras to the NVR, simply connect the supplied Ethernet cable to the LAN connection on the camera

then plug the other end of the Ethernet cable (1) into one of the camera inputs on the back of the NVR.

It doesn’t really matter which input you use as they are quite versatile and will be configured in a later step. Please

note; the Ethernet cable is the same at both ends so it doesn’t matter which end plugs into the camera or NVR.

The reset button is used

to perform a factory reset.
