Important Compatibility Notice
The 20TB hard-drive option is compatible only with designated MNR5- and MNR6-series NVRs. Confirm the recorder’s maximum supported storage capacity, number of drive bays, and hard-drive compatibility before ordering.
Installation Notice
Installation requires a compatible NVR with an available internal hard-drive bay, SATA data connection, and power connection. Mounting screws, SATA cables, and power cables may not be included with a standalone hard drive. Customers should verify that the necessary installation hardware is already present in the NVR before purchasing.
Storage duration varies based on camera quantity, recording resolution, frame rate, compression format, motion-recording settings, and hours recorded per day. Professional installation is recommended when expanding an existing surveillance system.
