Hard disk installation (optional)
Additional SATA hard disks can be installed in your NVR. Disconnect the power
from the NVR before installing a hard disk drive (HDD). A factory recommended
HDD should be used for this installation.

Tools required: Philips head screwdriver.
To install the hard disk drive into the NVR:

side panel.
When installing a SATA hard disk drive, we recommend that the installer wear
