connected to the Decoder.
2. Connect a monitor to the Decoder via HDMI or Composite port connection (see
Connecting to Local Display on page 17).
3. Connect a USB mouse.
4. Connect the Decoder to a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch or injector.
NOTE: If using the bundled power adaptor, a non-PoE switch may also be used.
5. Connect the cameras to the switch (see Connecting the Cameras on page 18).
