PrerequisitesBefore you begin, you will need the following:

Step 1: Install the Wireless RouterThe first step is to install the wireless router. Place the router in a central location in your home or office, and connect it to your broadband modem using an Ethernet cable. Once the router is powered on, you can connect to it wirelessly using the SSID and password printed on the bottom of the router.

Step 2: Configure the Wireless IP CamerasNext, you will need to configure the wireless IP cameras. Each camera will have its own unique IP address, which you will need to know in order to connect it to the DVR. To find the IP address of a camera, use the camera's web interface or mobile app.
Once you have the IP address of each camera, open the web interface for the DVR. Click on the "Configuration" tab, and then click on "Network". Under the "IP Camera" tab, enter the IP address of each camera, and then click on the "Add" button.

Step 3: Connect the DVR to the Wireless RouterNow, you will need to connect the DVR to the wireless router. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the DVR to one of the LAN ports on the router. Once the DVR is connected, you can power it on.

Step 4: Add the Cameras to the DVRThe next step is to add the cameras to the DVR. To do this, click on the "Live View" tab, and then click on the "Add Camera" button. Select the "Wireless IP Camera" option, and then enter the IP address of the camera. Click on the "Add" button to add the camera to the DVR.

Step 5: Configure the Recording SettingsOnce the cameras have been added to the DVR, you can configure the recording settings. Click on the "Configuration" tab, and then click on "Record". Under the "Recording Plan" tab, you can select the recording mode, the recording schedule, and the storage location.

Step 6: Test the SystemOnce the system is configured, you can test it to make sure that it is working properly. Click on the "Live View" tab to view the live video from the cameras. You can also click on the "Playback" tab to view recorded video.
