IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
• Do not expose the DVR to moisture. Water is the arch-enemy of electrical components and
also poses a high risk of electric shock.
• Avoid dusty locations. Dust has a tendency to build up inside the DVR case, leading to a high
risk of failure or even fire.
• Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space. The circuitry and hard drive in the DVR
produces a significant amount of heat, and this heat needs a way out.
• Do not open the DVR case except to install/swap the hard drive inside. There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
• Never open the case whilst the DVR is plugged in, and never turn the DVR on whilst the
case is open.
• Use only the supplied power adapter. Other adapters may cause damage to the DVR or cause
a fire.
• Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason. Doing so will void your warranty, as well as
pose a great risk of fire or electrical shock.
• Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks (for example, being dropped). The DVR
is as robust as possible, but many of the internal components are quite fragile.
• Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood, going to be left on 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Keep this in mind when choosing a location for installation.

Not seeing any menus?
The DVR displays the menu on only one output at a time. This means you’ll see the menus on either
the MAIN VIDEO OUTPUT (a TV) or through the VGA output (PC monitor/high definition TV).
If the DVR is not displaying the menu on the screen you have connected,
press and hold the REWIND button until the DVR beeps to swap displays.
DEFAULT PASSWORD INFORMATION
To ensure your privacy, this DVR supports password protection.
• There is no “default” password - until you set a password and enable password protection, the
DVR will not ask you for one.
• To ensure your ongoing privacy, we strongly recommend setting a password as soon as possible.
Choose something that you’ll remember, but that others would be unlikely to guess.
• If you do manage to lock yourself out of the DVR, you’ll need to contact us at the Swann Technical
Support Telephone Helpdesk - the number is on the back cover.
