Next, attach the camera mounts to the wall or ceiling.
Finally, install the cameras on the mounts.

Connecting the CablesOnce the cameras are installed, you need to connect the cables.
For analog cameras, you will need to connect a coaxial cable from each camera to the NVR.
For IP cameras, you will need to connect an Ethernet cable from each camera to the NVR.
In addition, you will need to connect a power cable to each camera.

Setting Up the NVROnce the cables are connected, you need to set up the NVR.
