STARTING THE DEVICE
2.2 HDD mounting
Novus NVR supports 9 internal SATA HDD.
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 resulting
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 to if they were used in a different device. All data saved on HDD prior
to format will be lost.
In order to mount HDD, please unscrew two screws on the NVR back side as depicted below and
remove top cover.
Inside of NVR you will see 3 brackets for 3 HDDs each. To install HDD unscrew HDD bracket from
the NVR bottom. Next put HDD in dedicated place of bracket and screw it tight.
In the same way mount HDD 2 and 3. 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.

STARTING THE DEVICE
In the same way install HDDs in other brackets. At the end install the top cover on the NVR and screw
it back.
2.3. Connecting power adapter.
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 for 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.
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.
Before starting the device familiarize yourself with the description and the role of particular
inputs, outputs and adjusting elements that the device is equipped with.

the Ethernet connection is effective within 100 meter distance.
For NVR-5720 you must create local networks, for connecting cameras, client PC and internet.
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.

STARTING THE DEVICE
For NVR-5736 you must create two local networks, first one NIC1 is for camera only and second one
NIC2 is for client PC and internet. NIC1 and NIC2 interfaces must have unique IP address, each
from other subnet ( the same rule like for WAN and LAN IP settings in routers).
Before adding any camera to the NVR, you have to configure its network settings like it is described
in Camera User Manual. For the next steps of camera and network configurations please check
chapter 3.4. Startup configuration.
2.6. Peripheral device connection
 Connecting audio ports
Audio output signal normally are above 200mV 1kΩ. You can connect the low impedance earphone,
or power amplifier with the external speakers.
 Connecting USB devices

devices. 2 USB ports (1x independent and 1x shared) are located at back panel and 1 USB port at front
panel.
Note:
For NVR-5720 back panels bottom port is shared with port at front panel (it is the same port), so you
cannot use both ports at the same time.
