Hard drive installation
Setting up the cable connections
A hard drive must be installed to record or save any footage. Please make sure the hard drive
is installed properly before turning on the device.
Hard drive installation
Before installing the hard drive, make sure the NVR is powered off and completely disconnected
from power.
Note: This section only applies to NVRs purchased without a hard drive already preinstalled. Most
‘kits’ or ‘bundles will come with a pre-installed hard drive. The hard drive must be no larger than
8TB (Terabytes).
To install your hard drive, the following is needed:
A medium sized (regular) Phillips-head screwdriver - not included
A hard drive - not included (unless you purchased a ‘kit’ that does have one included)
Four hard drive fastening screws - included
Step 1: Unscrew the four screws on the back and sides of the casing.
Step 2: Remove the cover in the direction of the arrow provided in the image.
