Model: VIGI NVR1008H  
Hardware Version: V1
Firmware Version: Not sure

When i power up the NVR 1008H... I still keep seeing the logo. I can use my mouse/cursor. But there is nothing else on the screen that i can interact with. Do i absolutely require an HDD to run this NVR or can i atleast see live videos until i get HDD ?

From your description, it appears the NVR has entered Emergency Mode.
Have you recently attempted to upgrade the NVR and had the power cut off during the process?
Under normal circumstances, running the NVR without a hard drive only disables recording export and playback; all other functions remain available.
If the NVR is indeed in Emergency Mode, please follow this guide to recover/flash the firmware.How to use recovery mode to recover firmware for VIGI Camera and NVR
