Power on the DVR and wait for the system to load.
Note: If you have not yet installed a hard disk drive in the DVR, a buzzer will sound
and a “No Hard Disk” message will appear on the screen. (See Chapter 3,
Setting Up.)
At log in, select your user account and enter your password. Choose the user accounts by
clicking arrow buttons on both sides of the account field (or using arrow keys on the
remote control), and enter the password using the numerical keypad in the lower part of the
Input Password window. Press OK to confirm or press CANCEL to clear the field and
enter another value.
By default, the system has two users: Admin and User with preset passwords. Only the
Admin (administrator) is able to change critical system settings.
Note: The default password for Admin is 888888; User is 666666. Change your
password in the System Settings of the System Configuration Menu (see
Password Setting).
