cameras connected to the DVR. You can double-click a channel at any time to view it
in single-channel mode. You access all menus from this Live View screen via the Quick
Access Menu. You will also see the Channel number or name, time and day information

Setting Up Passwords
When you first startup your DVR, you are automatically logged in as the ADMIN
under Device ID: 000000. 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 pass-
word to access your system using the browser-based remote software.
The system employs two levels of user authorities connected to a Device ID. The
levels are as follows:
1.
ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can change both
administrator and user passwords and enable/disable password checking
2.
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. The ADMIN and USER passwords must not be
the same.
To customize Password settings, click BASIC from the Main Menu, then click
PASSWORD. You are now in the PASSWORD Menu. From here you can change the DEVICE ID:
1.
Device ID: Click the field beside Device ID and enter a 6-digit numerical Device ID using the Virtual Keyboard.
Next, in the PASSWORD drop down menu click ENABLE to set up Admin and User passwords. NOTE: Only the Administrator can
enter the PASSWORD setup.
•
PASSWORD: Password must be 1-6 digits
•
RETYPE: You must retype the passwords.
•
NETWORK PW CLEAN: When activated, it means you will not have to use a password to log on to the system remotely via
Internet Explorer. This does not disable the DVR logon password requirement. You will still need a password to log in the DVR
if one was setup.
