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.
Important Information
Default Password Information
To ensure your privacy, this DVR supports password protection.
USERNAME: The default, all-access username is “admin”. If the DVR asks you to
log in before you’ve set a password, enter admin as your username and leave
the password blank. This will give you access to all areas of the DVR.
PASSWORD: There is no “default” password - until you set a password and en-
able 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.
