Step 2: Install the hard drive

The first step is to install the hard drive into the surveillance camera. To do this, open the camera's housing and locate the hard drive bay. Insert the hard drive into the bay and secure it with the screws provided.

Step 3: Power on the camera

Once the hard drive is installed, you can power on the camera. Connect the power supply to the camera and turn it on.

The camera's motion detection settings

Step 6: Test the camera

Once the camera is configured, you can test it to make sure that it is working properly. To do this, move in front of the camera and wait for it to detect you. The camera should start recording video footage. You can then view the video footage by logging into the camera's web interface.
