Internal HDD Installation The specifications for the Internal Hard Drive must be the following: • Size: 3,5” • Minimum RPM 7200 • Maximum capacity of 6TB. • We recommended to use optimized HDD for surveillance as “Western Digital Purple” or “Seagate Surveillance HDD”. We strongly do not recommend to use a standard PC HDD, since a standard HDD is not ready to work 24/7 and the HDD might stop working due to the very high workload.
3. Local Operation Installation 3.1. Step 1: Turn ON the NVR. Connect the power supply to the power supply port. Step 2: Connect the power supply cable to the power socket. The 3 Red Indicator lights will turn on and the device will start booting. Step3: Connect the NVR to the router with an Ethernet cable.
