Couldn't find anything in the 4216-16P NVR manual I downloaded from Dahua. I'm wondering if in my case it would be easier to mount the NVR vertically against a wall. Air circulation would probably be better but the HDD may not like being vertical. I could also more securely bolt the NVR to the wall to prevent theft. Any thoughts?
Can a Dahua NVR be mounted vertically?

You can mount it vertically. The hard drive will be fine. Think about many small form factor pc's that can lay horizontally and vertically.
Had a 4216 NVR wall mounted vertically with a WD 6T Gold drive for a year without any problems. Just keep the exhaust fan ports clean of dust. Have since replaced with a Dahua 5216 mounted in the same location. No issues on either device.
I have had mine mounted on the wall for over a year now, no issues at all. Two HD's in it, 2 and 4 tb's in size. I used this to save space.
