NVR Connection

HDD Installation

Your NVR comes with a pre-installed hard drive. To replace, upgrade, or add a hard drive to your unit, please

disconnect the power cable to the NVR. The SATA data cables and power wires to the hard drive can be pulled

directly out of the drive. Please note the key / orientation of the plug being removed from the drive, and re-install

in the same manner to the new drive. The hard drive is typically held in place with four screws. After

installation, place the cover back on the NVR, secure with the cover’s screws, and attach the power cable. Go to the

Main Menu, select the <DEVICE> sub menu, and click on <FORMAT HDD>. Please use only a SATA drive

recommended for surveillance applications. Contact technical service for the latest factory recommendations.

Camera, Router and Monitor Connection

Connect the included LAN patch cable from the WAN port on the NVR to the router or switch on your

local network. A local monitor should be connected to the VGA or HDMI outputs to help you see the

menus and setup your new NVR. Cameras can be connected directly to the RJ45 (POE) ports on the

back of the NVR.

Power Supply Connection

Please connect the included 48 VDC power adapter (4 & 8 Channel), or AC cord (16 channel) to the

back of the unit.
