A:Answer Connecting the wires is easy. Depending on what you have to work around, running the wires can be a pain if you want them concealed. One important note is in order to get your system to be accessed from the internet or smart phone, you need to be able to connect to your router with Cat V cable. So if you want your DVR in a concealed place and your router is somewhere else, you better see if you can run a Cat V cable to connect the 2. In a finished house that might not be that easy. And then the HDMI needs to connect to a TV. So give a lot of thought to how and where you are going to run your wires and locate your DVR. The system requires 2 plugs for the 2 adapters. One for the DVR and one for the camera power. Once you get the system connected to the router, your viewing possibilities increase.
