Installation and Setup
Setting up your Ul-Tech security system is a straightforward process. The installation guide will walk you through connecting the cameras to the DVR, configuring the DVR’s settings, and connecting the system to your network. You will also need to install the accompanying software on your computer or mobile device to access the system remotely.

Connecting the Cameras
Connecting the cameras to the DVR is a crucial step in setting up your Ul-Tech security system. Start by positioning the cameras strategically around your property, ensuring clear views of important areas. Each camera comes with a power adapter and a BNC cable for connecting to the DVR. Connect the power adapter to the camera and then plug it into a power outlet. Use the BNC cable to connect the camera to the corresponding channel on the DVR, ensuring that the cable is securely connected at both ends. Once all cameras are connected, you can proceed to configure the DVR settings.
Configuring the DVR
Once the cameras are connected, you need to configure the DVR to set up recording schedules, motion detection settings, and other preferences. Access the DVR’s user interface through a monitor connected to its HDMI or VGA port, or remotely via the Ul-Tech app. The initial setup will involve setting the date and time, configuring the recording mode (continuous, motion-triggered, or schedule-based), and adjusting the recording resolution and frame rate. You can also set up motion detection zones for each camera, enabling alerts when movement is detected in specific areas. Remember to save all settings to ensure they are applied.
Connecting to the Network
To access your Ul-Tech system remotely and manage it from anywhere, you need to connect the DVR to your network. The DVR typically has an Ethernet port for wired connection. Connect the DVR to your router using an Ethernet cable. You can also connect wirelessly if your DVR has a built-in Wi-Fi adapter.
