DVR Installation
The DVR typically ships with the locking front cover on and the mounting plate and cable cover off.
To install the MX-HD DVR:
1 Select an appropriate mounting location and orientation, either horizontal or vertical but not upside
down. For the dimensions and location of the mounting holes, see Figure 87, Dimensions, on page 67.
2 Unlock the door lock and remove the front cover from the unit to access the front panel. Verify there is
a hard drive inside the DVR.
3 Determine where the wiring and camera cables will enter the unit: on the left side, right side, or back.
4 Remove the necessary knockout (s), insert plugs and cable grommets.
5 Use the mounting plate to mark the desired position of the DVR and drill the four mounting holes. The
flange secures to the front of the DVR, the tray spring tab attaches to rear.
6 Fasten the mounting plate to the mounting surface with the four #10 × ¾ sheet metal screws or #10 × 1"
self-drilling screws. See Figure 4.
