2.2Installing NV 7000 Application Software
Once you have successfully completed installing Video Capture Cards, please follow the steps to install the DVR software first. After you completed the software installation, please install the driver.
If you have only one single hard drive, please divide the hard drive into two partitions. Install the Operating System onto the first partition (usually C drive) and use the second partition as your storage area for audio/video files and system log data. Remember to format both partitions into NTFS. Doing so will maintain an optimized system for your security needs.
Make sure to install the application before you install the driver to avoid unnecessary trouble.
