To ensure your ongoing privacy, we strongly recommend changing the pass-
word 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.
One of the most important things to decide early on is where you're going to in-
stall the DVR. There are several considerations to make, and some of them conflict
with one another.
•
Your DVR needs to be located in a central location to allow you maximum
options when placing your cameras. This is true whether your cameras are
connected via cables or wirelessly - one way, you'll have to physically install
cabling, and wireless systems still have a limited range.
•
On the other hand, your DVR should be installed somewhere secure. If the
DVR is too accessible it could be sabotaged or removed by an intruder.
•
Ideally, assuming that you wish to use most features this DVR offers, it should
be installed close to a network access point. There is, however, no problem us-
ing a long network cable - a Cat 5e Ethernet cable up to approximately three
hundred feet (about 90m) should work. Different network cable standards will
offer a longer or shorter range.
