3 Installing a Hard Drive SATA SATA 2.5 Power Power The DVR requires either a 3.5 SATA hard drive or a 2.5 SATA hard drive to record video to. Most brands such as Western Digital and Seagate are compatible. We recommend an AV (Audio/Video) rated hard drive. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to remove the two screws on the left and right-hand sides as well as the screw at the rear of the DVR. When finished, gently remove the lid. 2. There are two cables to connect to your hard drive. One cable is for data (SATA) and the other is for power. There are mounting holes for a 3.5 hard drive and a 2.5 hard drive. Try minimising any contact with the motherboard. 3. Place the hard drive as illustrated and connect the data and power cable to the relevant connections on the drive. Ensure they are firmly connected and that all cables are resting on top of the hard drive and not underneath. 4. While holding the hard drive, gently turn over the DVR and secure the drive in place using the supplied mounting screws. You may have to move the hard drive to align the screw holes on the drive with the mounts on the case. Use a Phillips head screwdriver to fasten each screw. When finished, place the lid back onto the DVR and fasten the remaining screws. 73

Power Splitter Video Output Video & Power Cable Connect the video output and DC power connection on the camera to the corresponding connections on the video & power cable.

USB Internet It s important that you do this as this allows you to access the DVR from your smartphone or tablet and to send you notifications. It also allows the DVR to connect to the Internet to update its internal clock, so the time it shows on the video is always accurate. 5
