3. Connect Mouse: Plug the included USB mouse into a USB port on the NVR.
4. Network Connection: Connect the NVR to your local network using an Ethernet cable. This is required for remote access and firmware updates.
5. Power On: Connect the power adapter to the NVR and then to a power outlet. The NVR will start automatically.

4.2 Camera Installation

1. Mounting Location: Select appropriate locations for the bullet cameras, considering the desired field of view and protection from environmental elements.
2. Mounting: Use the provided mounting hardware to securely attach the cameras to a wall or ceiling.
3. Wiring: Connect each camera to one of the NVR's PoE (Power over Ethernet) ports using an Ethernet cable. The NVR will provide both power and data connectivity.
4. Junction Box: For outdoor installations, use the Urmet 3000/108 junction boxes to protect cable connections from weather and tampering. Mount the junction box first, then route the camera cable through it.
5. Adjusting Lens: The 1099/501A cameras feature a varifocal lens (2.7-13.5mm) with autofocus. After initial power-up, access the camera settings via the NVR interface to adjust the zoom and focus for optimal clarity.

4.3 Initial NVR Configuration

1. First Boot: Upon first power-up, the NVR will guide you through an initial setup wizard.
2. Password Setup: Create a strong administrator password for the NVR. This is crucial for security.
3. Network Settings: Configure network settings (DHCP or static IP). Ensure the NVR has internet access for remote viewing and updates.
4. Date and Time: Set the correct date, time, and time zone.
5. Hard Drive Initialization: If a new hard drive is installed, the NVR will prompt you to initialize or format it for recording.
6. Camera Detection: The NVR should automatically detect and add the connected PoE cameras. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section or manually add cameras via the NVR's camera management menu.

5. Operating

5.1 Live View

After setup, the NVR will display the live video feeds from all connected cameras on the monitor. You can switch between single-camera view, multi-camera grid view, and other display modes using the NVR's on-screen menu and mouse.

5.2 Recording

• Continuous Recording: The NVR is configured for continuous recording by default, capturing footage 24/7.
• Motion Detection Recording: You can configure specific cameras to record only when motion is detected. This saves storage space and makes reviewing footage more efficient. Set up motion detection zones and sensitivity in the NVR's recording settings.
• Scheduled Recording: Define specific time schedules for recording, combining continuous and motion-triggered modes as needed.

5.3 Playback

To review recorded footage:

1. From the NVR's main menu, select "Playback."
2. Choose the desired camera(s) and date.
