Before you can use the SPIDER, you will need to connect and configure the
device to your preferred options. This can be done very easily and quickly.Once you have removed the SPIDER from the protective packaging, check
that you have all the accessories (see SPIDER Package Contents on page4), and follow the instructions below. The steps are explained in more detail
in the following sections.
SPIDER Connection Overview
1. Connect a monitor to the SPIDER.
2. Connect the SPIDER to a digital video recorder.
3. Connect the cameras to the RCA input cable.
4. Connect the power cable.
Connect a Monitor
A monitor must be connected to the SPIDER to configure the device's
behavior as well as to view live recorded feeds.
To connect a monitor:
Note: The power switch must be turned OFF while connectingthe SPIDER to the monitor. Only after you have
connected the SPIDER completely should the device be
turned ON.
1. Plug one end of an RCA cable into a Video Out output jack located onthe left side of the SPIDER; see Left Side View, page 5.
2. Plug the other end of an RCA cable into the monitor's A/V input.
Once the SPIDER is connected to a monitor, it should then also be
connected to a digital video recorder (DVR).
