But since I was nicely asked, and I have four cameras to play with, I opened one. Usually, I don’t open waterproofed devices, since a teardown may negatively affect their waterproofness. Place the top cover back in place, and you’re good to go. … in order to tighten the four HDD mounting screws which are provided with the kit.

First, connect the two SATA cable to your 3.5″ hard drive, then place the hard drive on the left side making it touch with the case, and hold it with your hand, while turning the NVR upside down… The hard drive installation is pretty easy.

In case you want to access the serial console, there are two UART headers, one of the bottom left, and the other close to the SATA port, and I suppose at least one is working… Click to Enlarge

The board is apparently based on Hisilicon Hi3536D Cortex-A7 processor that can handle up to 4x 1080p H.265/H.264 encoding/decoding at up to 20 fps. While the box is opened let’s check out the board itself. There’s plenty of space to leave space for the hard drive. Take out the four black screws on the rear panel and both side of the NVR.

You’ll need to install a 3.5″ SATA drive with the NVR, otherwise, all you’d be able to do is to monitor the live streams. Click to Enlarge HM241 Teardown and HDD Installation I’ll probably not use Ethernet at all for the camera since relying on WiFi is much so easier. The cameras have night vision, and come with waterproof connectors for power and Ethernet. The camera power supplies are rated 12V/1A, while the NVR power supply delivers up to 24 Watts (12V/2A).

We have four cameras with their WiFi antenna and mounting kit, five power supply for the NVR and camera, an Ethernet cable, as well as a USB mouse. Time to take all the bits from the package. The user guide also explains about software, and for example, you can monitor the cameras either by connecting a VGA or HDMI display, remotely using a web interface, or a mobile app available for Android and iOS. The bubble wrap for the NVR also included a Quick Guide for HM241 entirely in English and useful to install the system, as well as a welcome card and a QC label. The rear panel includes the two WiFi antennas, VGA and HDMI output for optional control monitor, a Fast Ethernet port, a USB 2.0 port, and the 12V DC jack. The front panel does not have much except some status LED for power HDD, and run mode, as well as a window for an IR receiver. People working at customs seem to be fond of larger packages, checked it out in details hence the “Opened and Releases” sticker on the package, and I had to pay customs duties. In the first part of the review, I’ll check out the hardware, and take the opportunity to install a 3.5″ hard drive, before doing a proper installation, and report my experience about the software in one or two extra articles. HeimVision offered this opportunity with its HM241 HD NVR Kit which they also call a “wireless security camera system”, and comes with 4 Full HD security cameras besides the NVR itself. I’ve reviewed a few solar-powered security cameras in the last year, and from time to time, I’m being asked to review more from time to time, but I asked for a change, and instead, I wanted to look into security network video recorders (NVR).
