Once the DVR is connected to the router, and with both powered on, the Link/ACT LED (located next to the LAN
port socket) on the DVR should lit up. The status light (in the front) on the router should also indicate that a
device is connected and active. If both LINK/ACT LED and the status light on the router are NOT lit or blinking,
there is something wrong with the connection, try replacing the cable.
Step 2: Setting up the DVR on your Local Area Network:
After the physical connection has been established, you can start tinkering with the settings. First you will need

monitor.] Find and press the “menu” button right on the front panel of the security DVR. Menu options should
now be available on your screen (Fig. 4):
