STEP 1 – Connect your DVR to your network
Wired connection or wireless?
It is recommended to use a wired connection whenever possible.
Wired connections are considerably faster and are not prone to
any interference or issues with distance. Only when a wired
connection is not possible should you use wireless adapter to
connect via Wi-Fi.
