Installation Tips & Tricks
One of the most important things to decide early on is where you’re going to in-
stall the DVR. There are several considerations to make, and some of them conflict
with one another.
Your DVR needs to be located in a central location to allow you maximum •
options when placing your cameras. This is true whether your cameras are
connected via cables or wirelessly - one way, you’ll have to physically install
cabling, and wireless systems still have a limited range.
On the other hand, your DVR should be installed somewhere secure. If the •
DVR is too accessible it could be sabotaged or removed by an intruder.
Ideally, assuming that you wish to use most features this DVR offers, it should •
be installed close to a network access point. There is, however, no problem us-
ing a long network cable - a Cat 5e Ethernet cable up to approximately three
hundred feet (about 90m) should work. Different network cable standards will
offer a longer or shorter range.
