3.1 DVR Installation &
HDD Installation
IMPORTANT: Your system will not be preinstalled with a hard disk drive (HDD) unless
the system was specifi cally purchased with an included HDD. You may install a
SATA
HDD
between
250GB
and
4TB
of storage after receiving your system. We recommend
Western Digital Purple
hard drives or
Seagate Pipeline
hard drives that are specifi cally
engineered for use in security camera environments. We also suggest that you make
your purchase from an offi
cial reseller (such as Newegg.com, Tiger-Direct, and Best
Buy) to ensure the quality of the HDD.
For the following HDD installation instructions, you will need:
1) Your DVR system
2) A SATA Hard Drive (not provided)
3) 4 silver Phillips screws (provided)
4) 7 black Phillips screws (provided)
5) A Phillips screwdriver (not provided)
1. Make sure your DVR is unplugged from its power
source and slide the top panel off of the DVR.
