3. Installation & Connection  
3.1 Installation Precautions  
Please refer to below tips while install and use the device:  
1. To extend the life of the device, please keep the device away from water, high temperature,  
and dust. Use it in a well-ventilated place.  
2. Please use SATA hard drive, USB devices and mouse purchased from authentic channels.  
3. Before use, please ensure the NVR has correct ground connection. Power source should  
not exceed the indicated normal working voltage range in the specs sheet.  
3.2 Preparations before Installation  
Decide the location of NVR. It is suggested to place the NVR at the center of monitoring  
area. Avoid any avoidable obstacle between the cameras and the NVR.  
Open area with no walls, cameras can be mounted about approx. 350ft away from the NVR.  
When there is one wall in between, reduce the distance to approx. 175ft  
When there are 2 walls in between, reduce the distance to approx. 85ft  
When there are more than 2 walls between camera and NVR, we suggest using  
extendable antennas to bring camera’s antenna inside walls while leaving camera out; or  
use network cable to hard wire the camera to NVR. (optional)  
The Wi-Fi range mentioned above may vary depends on the environments; range data only  
for reference.  
Test the system before installation.  
Screw on antennas for NVR and plug it to power with included 12V 3A power adapter.  
Screw on antennas for cameras and plug cameras to power with included 12V 1A power  
adapters.  
If you see videos from all cameras on monitor within minute or two, you can now mount the  
cameras to location you want.  
If the camera does not connect within minute or two, please follow step 5.2.2 to add the  
camera to system or contact Crystal Vision Support at: support@cvtus.com.  
3.3 Camera Mounting Spots  
1. Mount the cameras anywhere within the Wi-Fi range, plug them to power with included  
power adapters (smaller 12v 1amp power adapter).  
2. The cameras should start to stream videos to NVR within 1 ~ 2 minute.  
3. If it does not display video on the NVR’s screen, the distance to the camera might be too  
far and the camera should be moved closer to the NVR system.  
13  
3.5 Antenna Mounting Tips  
The NVR’s antennas radiate signals to all around. The signal pick-up is best while antennas  
are on same height and parallel. If the cameras cannot be at the same height with NVR,  
please keep their antennas parallel (up or down).  
4. System Operation Introduction  
4.1 Starting up  
Note:  
Please check the output voltage of the power adapter to make sure it is correct.
