PASSWORD
When you first startup your system, you are automatically logged in as the ADMIN under
Device ID000000. By default, passwords are disabled on the system. You will not need a
password to log in or access menus. You will not need a password to access your system
using the browser-based remote software.
The system employs two levels of user authorities connected to a Device ID. The authorities
are as follows:
• ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator
and user passwords and enable/disable password checking
• USER (normal user): Only has access to live viewing, search, playback, and other limited
authorities.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. If you
enable passwords, you must select a 6-digit ADMIN password and a 6-digit USER password.
You can change the Device ID and password
of the ADMIN and the USER from the
Password menu.
To open the Password/Security menu, click
on Basic in the Main Menu and then select
Password.
To change your Device ID and Password:
STEP 1. Click the field beside Device ID
and enter a 6-digit numerical Device
ID using the Virtual Keyboard. For
example: changing the ID to 000010.
STEP 2. Under Password, select
ENABLE.
STEP 3. Click the field beside Admin
Password to enter a 6-digit
numerical password using the Virtual
Keyboard. Re-enter the password in
the corresponding field.
STEP 4. Click the field beside User
Password to enter a 6-digit
numerical password using the Virtual
Keyboard. Re-enter the password in
the corresponding field.
The ADMIN and USER passwords must
not be the same.
STEP 5. Click Apply to save your
changes. Click Close in the
confirmation window.
STEP 6. Click Exit in each menu until all
windows are closed.
