Managing Passwords
ATTENTION: 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.
When you first startup your system, you are technically logged in as the ADMIN. The
system employs two user authorities connected to the system---ADMIN and USER.
• 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 USER password
password. By default, the system password is disabled.
