how to upgrade and install a NVR hard drive

You can easily upgrade the hard drive in your NVR. Lorex DVR and NVRs use security certified hard drives manufactured specifically to meet the demands of the security market. Delivering high-quality performance, efficiency, and reliability, these hard drives are not the standard HDDs that are in standard personal computers. The hard drives within our recorders can be in constant operation and can record and playback footage simultaneously.

The software that runs the NVR is installed on the board not on the drives .. you can even remove both drives and it will run without them it just wont record.
So ya just swap the drives out, it will do the rest

N884 Series - If I want to add a second HD, do I need to purchase any cables or screws, or are they already available within the NVR?

Can I use off the shelf wd purple surveillance hard drive or do I have to purchase the hard drive from Lorex

[bangdollarsign]

Does the OS use both drives for storage, or just one? Is that allocated automatically? Great video by the way! I am much more confident in my recommendation of your brand, seeing this support information.

Can I buy the Western Digital Purple HD's from another source, and they should still work fine?

[MrKen-wydk]

Can an SSD be used instead of an old fashioned HD?

Can I install a different hard drive or does have to be specific to Lorex

[MsHooch]

I see you installed a 6TB and 4TB - why is the system only registering 8TB and not 10TB? Thank you.
