2.1 Precautions



Formatting will clear all video data on the hard disk. Use this function only when
necessary.



Be sure to uninstall the hard disk before removing it from the NVR during runtime;
otherwise, the hard disk may be damaged or data may be lost.



The NVR must be connected to a stable power supply during runtime; otherwise,
the hard disk may be damaged or data may be lost.



The maximum capacity of a single hard disk cannot exceed 6 TB.

2.2 Hard Disk Recommendation

Seagate or Western Digital hard disks which are highly stable and inexpensive are
recommended.

3.3 Startup

Before starting the NVR, ensure that the NVR is connected to a power supply.
When the NVR is connected to a power supply, it starts automatically upon the initial

power-on.



Ensure that a power supply is connected to the NVR correctly.



Before starting the NVR, ensure that a monitor is connected to the HDMI or VGA
interface of the NVR correctly.



The NVR may not operate normally when a power supply exception occurs, likely
causing damage to the NVR in serious conditions. In such a circumstance, you are
advised to use a regulated power supply.

When the NVR is started, the power indicator becomes steady on and the NVR starts a
self-test and displays the test result on the screen, as shown in Figure 3-4.The startup
process takes about 2 minutes.

When the hardware abnormality is detected, the self-test screen stays on. You can click
continue or shutdown in the lower right corner of the screen. If you click continue,
the NVR enters the login screen.

The hard disk of the NVR must be provided by the user. Hard disk detection is performed
during startup. If the detection fails, possible causes include：



The hard disk is new and unformatted. The hard disk is formatted, but the file system is
inconsistent with the one supported by the NVR.



The hard disk is damaged.

3.4 Shutdown

Encode
Type

The video codec determines the image
quality and network bandwidth required
by a video. Currently, the following
codec standards are supported:



MJPEG

MJPEG is a standard intra-frame
compression codec. The compressed
image quality is good. No mosaic is
displayed on motion images. MJPEG
does not support proportional
compression and requires large storage
space. Recording and network
transmission occupy large hard disk space
and bandwidth. MJPEG is not applicable
to continuous recording for a long period
of time or network transmission of
videos. It can be used to send alarm
images.



H.264

H.264 consists of H.264Base Profile,
H.264 Main Profile, and H.264High
profile. The performance of H.264 High
Profile is higher than that of H.264 Main
Profile, and the performance of H.264
Main Profile is higher than that of H.264
Base Profile. If a hardware decoding
device is used, select the appropriate
codec based on the decoding performance
of the device.



H.265

H.265 is a new video compression
standard. H.265 remains some technique

of H.264 and improves some technique
such as stream, code quality, the
relationship between the time delay and
the complexity of algorithm, to optimize
