Connecting the NVR System

Follow these steps to connect your NVR:

  1. Connect NVR to Router: Connect the NVR to your router using the provided Ethernet cable. (Diagram: Shows NVR connected via Ethernet cable to a router.)
  2. Connect Mouse and Monitor to NVR: Connect the USB mouse to a USB port on the NVR and the HDMI cable from the NVR to your monitor or TV. (Diagram: Shows USB mouse connected to NVR and HDMI cable from NVR to monitor.)
  3. Connect Cameras to NVR: Connect your PoE cameras to the NVR using Ethernet cables. Plug one end into the camera and the other into a PoE port on the NVR. (Diagram: Shows Ethernet cables running from cameras to the PoE ports on the NVR.)
  4. Connect to Power: Connect the power adapter to the NVR's power port and plug it into a wall outlet. Ensure there is at least 20 mm (0.78") clearance on the left and right sides of the NVR for adequate ventilation. (Diagram: Shows power adapter connected to NVR and wall outlet, with a note about ventilation.)

Setting Up NVR Access

You can access your NVR system in two ways:

Option A: Configure with Monitor/TV

Connect a monitor and mouse to the NVR and follow the on-screen prompts for initial setup, including basic settings, time, and network configuration.

Option B: Connect NVR with eufy App

  1. Download the eufy App: Search for and download the "eufy Security" app from the Apple App Store (? App Store) or Google Play Store (▶️ Google Play).
  2. Follow In-App Instructions: Open the app and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. This typically involves:
    • Adding the NVR to your account.
    • Scanning the NVR's QR code.
    • Synchronizing the NVR with the app.
    • Pairing the NVR with your account.
