Step 2 - Connecting your cameras
Step 3 - Connecting your DVR to your monitor
* To extend the operating distance from your TV or VCR you will need to purchase an A/V
extension cable (sold separately) which are available at most electronics stores.
Note: We do not recommend extending the camera cable length past 330 Feet/100 metres
with a single cable run to avoid loss of signal.
Multiple cable sections connected to make up one cable length can drastically reduce the
video signal run distance.
