does not bear responsibility for any issues arising from usage of unsupported SD cards/
HDDs.
Note: List of compatible HDDs contains all disks supported by a given DVR model, including
desktop HDDs. However due to the fact that image recording prefers reliability usage of
24x7 recording HDDs is therefore advised.
Note: If a disk was used in another device, formatting becomes necessary. Please take it into
account due to the irrecoverable data loss resulting from said process.
Note: All HDD mounted in the DVR should be exactly the same type.
Note: Prior to removal of the HDD cover, unplug the power supply first!
If DVR is turned on please shut down the system prior to unplugging the device, by
selecting SHUTDOWN / LOGOUT.
In order to mount HDD please follow the instructions below:
