2. The grounding prong in the plug is
connected through the green wire in-
side the cord to the grounding system
in the tool. The green wire in the cord
must be the only wire connected to
the tool’s grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically
“live” terminal. (see 3-prong plug
and Outlet.)
Check with a qualified
electrician if you are in doubt
as to whether the outlet is
properly grounded. do not
modify the power cord plug
provided with the tool. never
remove the grounding prong
from the plug. do not use the
tool if the power cord or plug
is damaged. if damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility
before use. if the plug will not
fit the outlet, have a proper
outlet installed by a qualified
electrician.
3. The tool must be plugged into an
appropriate outlet, properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the
preceding illustration. (see 3-prong
plug and Outlet.)
double insulated tools: tools
with two prong plugs
grounded tools: tools with three

Outlets for 2-prong plug
1. Tools marked “Double Insulated” do
not require grounding. They have
a special double insulation system
which satisfies OSHA requirements
and complies with the applicable
standards of Underwriters Labora-
tories, Inc., the Canadian Standard
Association, and the National Electri-
cal Code. (see Outlets for 2-prong

1. Tools marked with “Grounding Re-
quired” have a three wire cord and
three prong grounding plug. The
plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should
electrically malfunction or break
down, grounding provides a low
resistance path to carry electricity
away from the user, reducing the risk

1. DVR with a TV monitor (sold sepa-
rately) - This is the simplest set up
that allows you to adjust all the set-
tings, view and record live images
and play back any recordings. You do
not have computer or internet capa-
bilities with this set up.
work area set up
2. DVR with a computer and a TV moni-
tor (both sold separately) - This set
up allows you to view recorded files
on a computer connected to the unit.
You cannot record when the unit is
connected directly to the computer.
1. Designate a work area that is clean
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord and all cabling
along a safe route without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the cord
and cables to possible damage.
3. DVR and a computer, connected
to the same modem and accessed
through your web browser (computer
and modem sold separately) - This
set up allows you to adjust all the
settings, view and record live images,
and play back any recordings through
your web browser. You will first need
a TV monitor to set up the system.
This option may not function with all
web browsers.
3. Use a surge protector (sold sepa-
rately) to help guard against electrical
power fluctuations.
4. IMPORTANT: Before mounting any
of the cameras, test the unit by hook-
ing up all the connections, and test-
ing all the features to insure the unit
is working properly. There are two
6mm cameras for longer range, and
two 3.6mm cameras for wider angle,
shorter range, viewing. Test the
cameras for the best location before
installing. Each camera is labeled on
the side of the unit.
4. Remote access through your internet
service - This arrangement allows
remote access to the DVR through
the internet. You will need to have the
unit already set up as in the previ-
ous paragraph, and have computer
and internet set up knowledge of port
forwarding and your modem’s exter-
nal IP address in order to set up this
configuration.
setup Overview
This unit can be set up in several dif-
ferent configurations. The simplest is
with a TV monitor. For set up through
the internet there are specific soft-
ware requirements and you will need
to have an understanding of your mo-
dem, your computer and your internet
connection settings, as well as port

the DVR to a TV monitor in order to
adjust the settings regardless of your

Video Output slot, and the other end
into the video Input or channel slot
on the TV monitor. Plug the TV into a
wall outlet. The unit will power up.

2. Attach the Power Adapter Cable to
the single end of the Cable Splitter.
note: For model 66556, if needed, change
the channel on the front of the
monitor so the light on the monitor is
green and adjust the image using the
adjustment knobs on the back of the
monitor.

• A PC or laptop that is connected to
the same router as the DVR.
• A compatible web browser (instruc-
tions were developed with a com-
mon web browser , other brows-
ers may not be compatible).

Static. Changing the Static to DHCP,
will cause the DVR to automatically
retrieve an IP address from the con-
nected router. Unless your network
requires a static IP address, leave the
DVR IP Allocation set as DHCP.

adding dvr to trusted sites
Every computer that is accessing
the DVR will need to be configured
to download and run ActiveX con-
trols. This is a one time change and
only needs to be made on the com-
puter that is accessing the DVR. This
can be done by changing your web
browser settings so it only affects
websites that you specifically add
to the trusted sites list. Or you can
change the setting for all websites.
It is recommended that you only
change the setting for your trusted
sites.
note: If your router does not support
DHCP, contact your network admin-
istrator to supply you with your IP
information. If the DVR needs to store
PPPoE (DSL/ADSL) settings, contact
your ISP (Internet Service Provider)
for the proper settings.

Once you have successfully set up
and viewed your DVR through a
router, you are now able to set up
your router to view the DVR while at
a remote location. This process is
called Port Forwarding. Port Forward-
ing is required if you want to view
the DVR from a computer that is not
connected to the same router. This
process opens a path on your home/
business network to allow you to view
your DVR video feed from outside
your network (over the Internet).
note: The bold underlined numbers are
your IP address and will be different
from the numbers shown in the above
example.
8. If “Require server verification (https:)

to uncheck the selection box.
9. Click ADD.
10. Close window.
To change the default setting for the
TRUSTED SITES zone to low, on the
Main Settings:
There are many makes and models
of routers. You will need to follow the
instructions from your router’s manu-
facturer for port forwarding. Consult
online sources or have a qualified
computer technician complete this
task if needed.
1. Click on DEFAULT LEVEL.
2. Change security level of the zone to
“Low” by sliding the slider to the bot-
tom.
Once you have successfully set up
port forwarding from the modem
where the DVR is located, you will be
prompted to enter your user name
(default: admin), password (de-
fault:111111) and install ActiveX con-
trols. You will now be able to view the
DVR from any PC in the world with
internet access and proper computer
settings.
3. This will allow ActiveX controls from
the DVR to be downloaded and the
DVR to be viewed on the computer.
4. Click APPLY.
5. Click OK.
You should now see the connected
cameras on the computer screen in
the DxClient backup program. Follow
the instructions for “Backup Program”
to use the software.
