Step 4: Connect the Ethernet cable 
Connect the supplied CAT5e Ethernet cable to the network port. Connect the other end to a 
router on your network. 
Step 5: Connect audio devices (if applicable) 
To record audio, connect the audio sources to the AUDIO IN connectors. To play audio, 
connect an audio output device (low-impedance headphones, speaker, or amplifier) to the 
AUDIO OUT connector (200 mV / 1 kilohm). 
Step 6: Connect alarm devices (if applicable) 
Connect alarm devices to the alarm in/out interface. If the alarm inputs use external power, 
the device must have the same ground as the NVR. See Appendix A, Connecting Alarm 
Input/Outputs for additional information. 
Step 7: Connect a PTZ camera (if applicable) 
Your embedded NVR communicates with PTZ cameras through the Network. Ensure that you 
camera is correctly connected to the Network. 
Step 8: Connect the power cable 
Connect the supplied 12 V DC power adapter to the power input. Use of an uninterruptible 
power supply (UPS) is strongly recommended.
