Chapter 1: FCC Warnings
FCC Radiation Norm
FCC
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
FCC Compliance Statement
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against frequency
interference in residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and if not installed or used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on. The user is encouraged
to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
CAUTION
The Federal Communications Commission warns the user that changes or
modifications to the unit not expressly approved by the part responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

CHAPTER 2
SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
10 WNVR Series User’s Manual
Use the provided power adapter.
Do not use this product with a power
source that applies more than the
specified voltage.
Never insert metal into the NVR case
or its openings. Inserting metal into the
NVR case may cause electric shock.
Do not operate in wet or dusty areas.
Avoid placing the NVR in areas such
as a damp basement or dusty attic.
Do not expose the NVR to rain or use
near water. If the NVR accidentally
gets wet, unplug it and contact
technical support immediately.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry.
To clean the outside case of the NVR,
use a lightly dampened cloth. Do not
use cleaning solutions or solvents.
Do not install near any heat sources.
Do not install the NVR near any heat
sources such as stoves, heat registers,
radiators or electronics (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
Unplug the NVR when moving it.
Make sure that the NVR is unplugged
before you move it. When moving this
device, be sure to handle it with care.
Make sure there is good air circulation
around the NVR.
This NVR uses an internal hard drive,
which generates heat during operation
for video storage. Do not block vents
on the NVR, as these vents reduce
the generated heat while the system
is running. Place this product in well-
ventilated area.
Do not attempt to remove the top
cover. If you observe any abnormal
operation, unplug the NVR immediately
and contact technical support. Do not
attempt to open the NVR to diagnose
the cause of the problem.
Handle the NVR carefully.
If you drop the NVR on any hard
surface, it may damage the device.
If the NVR doesn’t work properly
due to physical damage, contact an
authorized dealer for repair.
It is recommended to use your NVR
with an uninterruptible power supply
(UPS). Connecting your NVR and
cameras to a UPS allows continuous
operation even during power outages.
The run-time duration will depend on
the rating of the UPS used.
Chapter 2: Safety Instructions
You may be subjected to severe electrical shock
if you remove the cover of the NVR.

4.2 Mounting the Cameras
Camera distance from NVR.
Your wireless IP cameras will reach up
to 300 ft. wirelessly. Therefore, proper
placement of the wireless NVR in your
home will help ensure you achieve
maximum coverage.
Do not place near high voltage wires or
other sources of electrical interference.
Electrical interference will degrade the quality of the signal.
Place camera out of reach to avoid vandalism.
Avoid direct exposure to weather. Do not place the camera where rain or snow will
hit the lens directly nor should the camera be placed so that the sun or bright
light shines directly into the lens. Your camera is weatherproof, but it will not work
when submerged in water. Ensure that all power and video connections are not
directly exposed to water and are protected from the elements.
Mounting surface. The mounting surface must hold at least four times the
camera’s total weight.
1. Locate a camera and choose a location where you would like to mount
the camera.
2. Indicate screw positions by marking three holes on the surface where you plan
to mount the camera, using the holes in the camera base as a guide.
3. Using a drill bit slightly smaller than the included screw anchors, drill into the
mounting surface using the guide marks you placed in the previous step.
4. Insert the screw anchors.
5. Line up the camera base holes with the screw anchors. Holding the base in
place, insert screws and tighten until secure.
Connect all cameras locally before final placement
to ensure that all components function properly.
18 WNVR Series User’s Manual
6. Once the base is screwed in place, make sure that the camera is securely
mounted by placing gentle pressure on the mount.
7. Adjust the camera housing to point in the direction of the area you would like
to monitor.
