LOGGING IN TO A REMOTE SITE
After a connection to a remote site has been established, to access the features of the DX8000 Series DVR, you must log in with a valid user
name and password.
The DX8000 comes equipped with a built-in user account named “Guest.” Each time the unit is turned on, the Guest account is automatically
activated. In addition to the Guest account, there are four other user access levels, or groups, that can be configured on the DX8000. The Guest
user is granted only limited access to the system. The other four access levels range from the Administrator group, with the most rights and
privileges, to the Restricted group, with the least rights and privileges. For more information on the rights and permissions of the user group to
which you have been assigned, refer to
Definition of User Access Levels on page 196.
To operate and configure all but the most basic features of the DX8000, you must be assigned a user account other than Guest. If you have not
been assigned a user account, contact your system administrator before proceeding.
To log in to a remote site:
1. Select a remote DX8000 Series DVR site from the Site tree.
2. From the DX8000 menu bar, choose File > User Log-in.
You can also log in to a remote site by right-clicking its site name and then selecting User Log-In from the shortcut menu.
3. Enter a valid user name in the User Name field and a valid password in the Password field.

LOGGING OUT OF A REMOTE SITE
You can only log out of one server at a time. If you are logged into multiple servers, you must log out of each server individually. Logging out of a
remote DVR does not disconnect you from that system. Logging out will return you to the Guest account. To disconnect from a remote server,
refer to Disconnecting from a Remote Site on page 33.
