Using the mouse, front panel buttons or remote control, enter your user name and password.
Whenever the cursor is over a text field, a keyboard icon will appear to the right. Clicking
within the field itself will open the virtual keyboard as explained in Section 3.1. Clicking on
the keyboard icon allows you to cycle between numbers, letters (upper and lower case) and
symbols when appropriate.
Until new accounts are added, there are three types of pre-configured accounts available to
users who log into the DVR:
• Administrator (local and network) Username: admin Password admin
• Local Administrator Username: 888888 Password: 888888
• User (can only monitor, back up and play back video)
Username 666666 Password 666666
You must have access rights – whether as the system administrator or logged-in user –
in order to change settings. See Account in Section 5.4 for information regarding user
accounts.
Once you have logged in, the DVR will display one or more camera channels in Live View.
How many channels are displayed will depend on how many cameras you have connected as
well as what multi-view mode you have chosen.
After a period of inactivity – configurable in the General Setting submenu described in Section
5.3 – the DVR will log users out. This will require the current user to re-enter their password.
MAIN MENU
After logging in, you can view – and access - the DVR’s functions through the Main Menu.
IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended that you change your system
password after you log on for the first time. Record your changes and keep
that information stored securely as the system will prevent access if the
incorrect login information is attempted three times within a 30-minute period.
If you find yourself locked out of the DVR because of this, wait 30 minutes,
reboot the DVR and attempt to log into it again.
