Hi here is a downloadable manual for you https://manualzz.com/doc/1719398/zeus-and-apollo-standalone-dvr-quick-start-guide

Yes your right

RqzSzQdryQ

And these are the only wire strippers you need to do your job https://www.toolstation.com/minotaur-wire-stripping-pliers/p36252 yes your right about the power lead for power supply just chop the kettle end off strip it and connect brown to terminal marked L on power supply blue connects to terminal marked N and yellow/green connects to terminal E

Hi yes that’s all you need in your list above the power supply is overkill for your needs but also allows you to expand if you wanted to add more cameras In your picture it shows that orange/orange white is your + you have two of each because you have two cameras so you would insert 1 orange and 1 orange/white into first channel of power supply marked with + you then insert the blue and blue/white into terminal marker - so your just using two channels of the power supply it is also better for you as each camera is protected by a fuse …… anything happends and you still have a working camera

Hi any reason why your post is showing a 240v kettle lead ?

This is a good proper cctv power suppy …. Much better that the brick type https://www.amazon.co.uk/HAILI-Monitoring-Equipment-Accessories-Security/dp/B07R1YNG8Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_13?crid=1P86TODPJJ3SL&keywords=cctv+power+supply&qid=1654959033&sprefix=cctv+power+supply%2Caps%2C80&sr=8-13 also good baluns https://www.amazon.co.uk/MainCore-Video-Ethernet-Network-Adapter-silver/dp/B09T6W5S3J/ref=mp_s_a_1_47?crid=2M5J5AL1JRY2K&keywords=cctv+balun&qid=1654959371&sprefix=cctv+balans%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-47

Hi. Ok power will work that way so you don’t need to touch that unless your power supply has blown do you have the use of a multi meter ? your baluns are wired up wrong there should be only one wire going to each terminal so you need to take one wire out Your balun has + and - on it + shows green and green/ white strip remove the green with white strip at both balun ends - shows brown and brown / white stripe again remove the brown/white from each balun end

Looking at your picture ….. you have a pull apart power plug and and BNC connector (balun) it also looks like you have two cables on each of the balun terminals….. which is not correct anyway……. Should only have one pair of cat 5. For balun …….. something like solid blue for + and blue with white stripe for - can you take a picture of connections on back of recorder also power supply and also before you spend money remove the two camera connectors from back of dvr and see if it starts up and goes to menu screen

Yes completely safe ….. infact if was powered up you would not notice ….. it’s only 12v ….. can’t electrocute yourself or feel anything what part of uk…… only so a can find you a local place to buy from also how many cameras do you have

Hi that system will also have a power supply just for the cameras there looks like enough wire to just strip it and add a new balun were are you located

Hi. No electrician needed ….. changing out baluns is a simple job. but you may also have a problem with your power supply you say system was not used for a while …. Was it working before you stopped using it and also did you unplug the power suppy

Hi yes you need a 3.5 jack to rca cable you can make one or buy one argos sells them

Yes if your monitor has vga input

Hi .. yes that’s the same just different colour they are known as a patch lead rj45 do you need a longer one ?

Hi. No you don’t need any cables to your pc It will connect over your network

Hi in your picture of the router you are looking for a cable the same as the yellow one ..that will plug into the router then your dvr. it’s looks like your on cable internet (something like virgin) is it activated

Hi. You will need to run a network cable from your dvr to your router then you need to switch off your recorder after you have connected the cable switch back on ….. right click on your dvr screen to get to menu ….. half way down you will see guide ….. follow the instructions

Ok

Ok. Now you need coax from the recorder (bnc connection) marked as A on the back next to mic input and connect other end to the red audio in on the back of your tv we’re are you located

Hi …. You will need to install a microphone to be able to hear and record sound.

Why would you want too ?

Hi. Button right below menu……marked … source

Not usually …… unless you have other problems like faulty hard drive

Hi. On your tv remote controls you should have a source button . Which will switch your tv to TV -HDMI 1 -HDMI 2- SCART- or VGA (can also be called pc) seeifyou get a image then
