LOGGING IN FOR THE FIRST TIME

To access the features of the DX8000 Series DVR, each user must log in with a valid user name and password. There are four user access levels
or groups that can be configured on the DX8000. Access levels range from the Administrator group, with the most rights and privileges, to the
Restricted group, with the least rights and privileges. Refer to the Definition of User Access Levels section of the Operation/Programming manual
for information on user group rights and permissions.

The DX8000 comes equipped with two built-in user accounts. Each time the unit is started, a default user account called “Guest” is automatically
activated. The Guest account is granted only limited access to the DX8000 and is allowed no access to system configuration utilities. A second
built-in user account, named “Admin”, provides full access to the operations and configuration features of the DX8000. To log in with the Admin
account, follow the directions below.

To log in with the Admin account:

1. Click File > User Log-in.

2. Enter Admin in the User name field and Admin in the Password field.

1. Click OK.

NOTE: User names and passwords are case-sensitive.

For security reasons, you are required to change the Admin password immediately after logging in for the first time. Passwords must be
between six and ten characters long and cannot include spaces or special characters. Follow the directions on the next page to change the
Admin password.
