STARTING THE DEVICE
2.2 HDD mounting
Novus NVR supports 2 internal SATA HDD (models NVR-7308P8-H2, NVR-7316P8-H2) or 4
internal SATA HDD (model NVR-7524P8-H4).
WARNING!
In order to find information regarding the compatible models of HDDs and their maximum
capacities, please contact Novus distributor or check the information presented at
www.novuscctv.com. AAT HOLDING Company is not responsible for any problems from using
not recommended hard drives.
The list of compatible HDDs contains all the HDDs that can be used with a given DVR including
HDDs designed for office use - so called desktop disks. However, due to the fact that reliability of
the recording process and data safety are paramount factors of any CCTV system, we strongly
advise to use HDDs designed for continuous (24/7) operation.
You need to format disks if they were used in a different device. All data saved on HDD prior to
format will be lost.
Installation HDD in NVR-7308P8-H2, NVR-7316P8-H2
In order to mount HDD, please move front HDD cover to the right, and next open it.
There are two HDD brackets inside. To remove bracket carefully push lock switch (A) to the right side
(B) and then pull out the bracket.
When you have removed HDD bracket carefully unlock bracket connector (C) and open the bracket
(D). Next mount HDD on place (E), close the bracket and lock by connector (F). Notice that you don't
have to use any screw to install HDD, installing one HDD take less than 30s.

Next put bracket with HDD on his place, and carefully push it into NVR socket. The same way install
HDD2 if necessary. After installing all HDD close the front cover.
Installation HDD in model NVR-7524P8-H4
In order to mount HDD, please unscrew 3 screws on the NVR back, 2 screw on left side and 2 screw on
right side (check at image below). Next move up and remove top cover.
Inside of NVR you will see 2 brackets for 2 HDDs each. To install HDD unscrew HDD bracket from
the NVR bottom.
Put HDD1 up side down under the bracket like on image and screw it by 4 screws. Next put HDD2
upside down into bracket like on image and screw it by 4 screw.

STARTING THE DEVICE
When all HDDs are installed mount bracket to the NVRs side and screw it tightly. Then connect the
power cable and data cable to the disks. In the same way install HDDs in other brackets, and mount
bracket in NVR.
At the end install the top cover on the NVR and screw it back.
2.3. Connecting the power supply.
Please connect provided power cord in the rear power port of the NVR like depicted below.
To start the unit turn on the power switch on back panel. Initialization lasts approximately 60 seconds.
During this time executing any device functions and pressing any buttons is prohibited. To shut down
the device please use the menu.
CAUTION:
Make connection when the power is not applied and the power switch is turned off.
Do not place the power cord under the carpet or rug. The power cord is usually earth-grounded.
However, even if it's not earth-grounded, never modify it on your own for earth-grounding.
Make sure that power adapter is placed near of NVR and secured from accidental disconnection.
If the device was brought from a location with lower temperature, please wait until it reaches the
temperature of location it is currently in. Turning the device on immediately after bringing it
from a location with lower ambient temperature is forbidden, as the condensing water vapour
may cause short-circuits and damage the device as a result.

2.4. Connecting monitor
This product supports following interfaces for main monitor: HDMI, VGA.
For HDMI and VGA outputs following resolutions are supported: 800x600, 1024x768, 1280x720
1280x1024, 1366x768, 1440x900, 1920x1080.
After changing resolution you have to confirm it by clicking YES. In case of monitor does not display
anything please wait 8 seconds, then previous resolution will be restored.
2.5. Connecting camera and Network
NVRs have built-in 8 PoE ports RJ-45 with PoE support, which can be used for connecting cameras.
Please notice that the Ethernet connection is effective within 100 meter distance. To connect IP
cameras please connect cables like on image and follow the described below.
 In case of adding IP cameras to built-in PoE switch, you don not have to set up any parameters
of camera. After connecting camera to RJ45 port it would be automatically powered, discovered
in network and connected to NVR.
 In case of connecting cameras by using external switch you have to configure its network
settings (according to NVR LAN setting) like it is described in Camera User Manual.
Note:
NVR saves password automatically. If you provide unique password while adding one camera it
would be automatically used for connecting with other cameras.
Note:
To ensure recording stability from an overloaded network traffic, or unauthorised access, it is
strongly recommended to create separate network secured by router firewall from the user network.
If you use a switch to connect additional cameras it is recommended not to exceed 60% of the
maximum throughput of the network interface. When connecting more than 6 cameras via a external
switch we recommend you to use a 1000 Mbit switch

By default local authorization of NVR is disabled so you can manipulate NVR without any username
or password. After configuring NVR it is strongly recommended to set up user password.
Default login is root/pass. For safety reasons, it is recommended to change default user name
and password.
In order to shutdown or reboot NVR you should move cursor to the bottom icon or click the right
key of mouse and select START icon . Next click the SYSTEM MAINTAINANCE and SYSTEM
SHUTDOWN. You could also use button at front or rear panel turn bring shutdown menu.
In pop-up window choose LOGOUT, SHUTDOWN or RESTART and wait until it will be finish.
To prevent unauthorized access, it is recommended to log out when you leave the screen, or set up
AUTOLOCK feature.
Note:
When user is not login or has limited rights all inactive icon and menus are greyed out.
CAUTION:
If you turn off the system in an abnormal manner such as removing the power cord while the
system is working, the disk will acquire or increase the numbers of bad sectors, causing data
loss and shortened life cycle of the disk.

3.4. Startup configuration
Prior to using NVR for the first time, initial setup is strongly advised. Before you connect the IP
cameras to the NVR, please set up network and stream parameters of IP cameras in the right way.
Note:
For suggested values for IP camera setting please refer to the “Cameras Capability Table” available
on the www.novuscctv.com website. If you set wrong values some problems may appear: the NVR
cannot search the IP camera, the stream cannot be connected, the image is not fluent, the image quality
is bad and so on.
In case of first NVR start QUICK SETTING menu window will occur (if function wasn’t disabled
earlier). To configure NVR please follow procedure like below, after step 5 NVR will be ready to
work:
I. Cloud Service: menu allows to enable cloud access to NVR. After changing parameters click
SAVE button. There are also two QR codes to scan in mobile device, first is link for mobile
software, and second is serial number of NVR to easy connect NVR.
II. Time Settings: menu allows to configure NVR local time and NTP settings. After changing
parameters click SAVE button for each submenu.

16
III. Network Settings: set up network parameters according to you ISP information: IP (by default it
is 192.168.1.100) SUBNET MASK (by default it is 255.255.255.0). Optionally if you are going
to connect NVR to the Internet (for cloud access, sending email, etc) set up GATEWAY,
PRIMARY and BACKUP DNS. You can alternatively check DHCP mode (DHCP server is
required in this method in target network) then all settings will be set up automatically.
Note:
When you use DHCP server check IP address lease and its linking with NVR MAC address to avoid
changing or losing IP address during device operation or network/DHCP server breakdown. This
solution is not recommended for security systems.
Note:
Be sure that IP addresses and subnet mask of the NVR and the IP cameras are in the same network
subnet (e.g. for the NVR IP address 192.168.1.188, and mask 255.255.255.0 appropriate address for
the camera ranges from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254, for example 192.168.1.201). It is not allowed to
set the same addresses for multiple devices.
IV. HDD Manage: menu allows to prepare new installed hard disk to work. If you run it for the first
time simply click ALL FORMAT button, and wait until progress will finish.

V. IP Camera Management: menu allows to manage IP cameras connected to the system. There are
two possibility to connect IP cameras:
 Camera is connected to build-in PoE switch. In such situation camera will be automatically
discovered and added to NVR at channel corresponding to PoE port of NVR (A selection).
