In this video I show how to install a hard drive into a network video recorder (NVR). After the installation, the Reolink NVR is installed and the existing cameras are integrated.
With increasing insecurity in my neighborhood (burglary and theft), I also had more frequent uninvited visitors on my property. I therefore decided to build a surveillance system. For the video surveillance I installed cameras from Trendnet and Hikvision. The pictures and videos were automatically stored on my home server (QNAP). The complete system is based on a PoE network. The power supply for the cameras is done via the Cat6 data cable and a PoE switch.
When I replaced the cameras with 4K models from Reolink, I noticed that the QNAP could no longer process the high amount of data and the CPU load was over 90%. I was therefore looking for a new solution for recording my surveillance cameras.
My decision fell on a network video recorder (NVR) from Reolink. The model can handle 36 cameras with up to 12MP. Audio recording is also possible. For storage, 3 hard drives with a maximum of 16TB can be installed. A total of 48TB of video data can be stored.
The NVR from Reolink can be connected directly to a monitor via HDMI or VGA and does not require an additional computer. The control is done with a mouse. Furthermore, 8 alarm inputs and 4 alarm outputs can be connected.
I connected the Reolink NVR with the network cable and can control the device via computer or smartphone.
My video is aimed at those who want to install the NVR in an existing surveillance system. If you want to know how to install and set up the cameras or what else to consider, write me in the comment section :-)

The fans in the Reolink NVR are very loud. But it is possible to replace them. This model from Noctua amzn.to/3WnHXow is very quiet. For connection, the low-noise adapter amzn.to/3FV8y5l is recommended, as well as a 3-2 PIN adapter (NA-AC2).
