Note:
This guide references the latest version of the NVR firmware (as of June
2020). Some images and instructions may differ depending on firmware version.
Upon activating power, LED lights at the front of the NVR should turn on and the NVR will sound on startup. The NVR
will then run your surveillance user interface. Cameras will be detected automatically. This completes a successful first
boot of your surveillance system and you may begin configuring surveillance cameras.

We recommend only using
Surveillance-grade HDDs
with your NVR, such as Seagate Skyhawk or WD Purple. These
HDDs are built to handle the heavy workload of 24/7 recording; standard HDDs may encounter performance issues.
Before connecting your NVR (network video recorder) or cameras, please ensure the following safe installation
guidelines are adhered to.
