2.2 HDD mounting
The NHDR-6004-H1, NHDR-6008-H1, NHDR-6016-H1 recorders allow mounting one internal disk
and the NHDR-6116-H2 recorder two disks inside.
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 NHDR
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.
WARNING: !
Before removing cover unplug the power cord from the NHDR. When NHDR is turned on before
disconnecting the power cord, shut down the recorder using the NHDR menu.
For NHDR-6004-H1, NHDR-6008-H1 NHDR-6116-H1
In order to mount the hard drives, after unscrewing four screws (two screws on the side of the housing)
in the places shown in the photo below, remove the recorder housing by sliding it back and then lifting
it up.

STARTING THE DEVICE
After removing the case, mount the disk using mounting screws supplied in the set (4 pcs.). And then
connect the power cord and signal.The recorder casing has 6 holes enabling adaptation to hard disk
mounting holes.
After connecting the hard drive mount the cover, start the NHDR to check and format the hard drive.
For the NHDR-6116-H2 recorder, unscrew the three screws on the back of the recorder housing.
After connecting the hard disk drive, mount the recorder housing and run it to check the correct
connections and format the hard disk drive.
After removing the casing, mount the disk using mounting screws (4 pcs.) For each disk mounted.

STARTING THE DEVICE
After screwing the disks, connect the power and signal cables to the disks.
After connecting the hard disk drive, mount the recorder housing and run it to check the correct
connections and format the hard disk drive.
WARNING:
If the disk used has been used in another device, it must be formatted. The formatting process
results in the loss of data saved on the disk.
2.3. Connecting the power supply.
To start please connect provided power cord in the rear power port of the NHDR. 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.
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 NHDR 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.

after more than 5 seconds until you hear a sound signal from the recorder.
2.5. Connecting camera and Network
AHD cameras should be connected by coaxial cable to BNC connectors of the recorder.
The maximum cable length between the recorder and camera depends on the quality of the cable and
the mode used.
The recorder requires the use of a switch to connect IP cameras. The permissible cable distance from
the switch to each network device is 100m. Cameras, Internet and other devices should be connected
as shown below. We recommend configuring the cameras before connecting to the recorder as
described in the camera user's manual. Please remember that the cameras should be addressed with a
unique IP address supported by the recorder. Connecting cameras and network devices to the recorder
Before configuring the connection of cameras in the recorder, we recommend using a PC to configure
the cameras in accordance with the camera instructions.
