Connecting the Cameras to the DVR

1. Unravel the Camera Cable and separate the two ends. Each end should contain one BLUE video connection and one RED power connection

2. Locate the PURPLE stickers attached to the wires with the BLUE connection.

    • One sticker should say “Connect to Camera”, the other sticker should say “Connect to DVR
3. Take the BLUE connection from the Camera Cable that has the “Connect to Camera” sticker and connect it to the BLUE connection attached to the Camera.
Your Loocam device features a security lock on our Camera Cable which will lock the cables in place ensuring a safe and constant connection. Line up the pin, push in and turn clockwise.
