Before You Get Started

A: Gather Your Components.

You will need:

1. A 19” or larger VGA PC monitor and VGA cable OR a television of any size.

2. A surge protector

We STRONGLY recommend that you use one that has the following specifications:

• UL-1449 Rated

• Clamping voltage of 330 or lower

• Joule rating of at least 400

• Response time of 10 nanoseconds or less

3. A power screw driver/drill to mount your cameras.

B: Unpack the box...

Check the contents against the “What’s in the Box” list that was 

packed at the top of your product. If you notice any damage or 

missing components, please contact Q-See Customer Support

This guide is intended to help you get your Q-See security system up and running. There are many additional features which can be 

customized to your specific needs. More information and instructions are available in the User Manual incuded on the CD that came 

with your system or available for download from our website at www.Q-See.com.

For information on how to configure your system for remote monitoring on the Internet or on your smartphone, please refer to the 

Remote Monitoring Guide also included on the accompanying CD.

Your DVR can be controlled using the included USB mouse, remote control or the function keys on the front of the unit. For the purposes of this guide, we will be giving instructions using the mouse. Because this 

guide covers several models in the QT series of DVRs, components in photos may not exactly match those on your particular mode.
