Newbie question here. I've searched but can't find an answer to this...
Want to get some bullet cameras for home use and record to, probably a 7608. I was planning on installing the nvr in a closet. Run ethernet cables through the attic and down to the closet. Don't need to see feeds on a monitor -plan on using iPhone / iPad APPs for viewing.
I was hoping I could just plug my macbook into the nvr to 'talk' to it and do the setup that way but from what I read, the nvr has to be hooked up to an external monitor for initial setup.
Can I initially just hook the nvr to my tv and connect it to my house network - and then initialize my hard drives, get it to talk to my home network. Then unplug everything..put it in the closet..hook it up to the home network with an ethernet cable..hook up the cameras and do the rest of 'adding the cameras / configuration' via my macbook over the network?
Thanks
