Password and Video Setup Menus

Setting your Password
The system password allows you to protect the DVR's settings
& recording. Without the password the DVR menu cannot
be accessed. We strongly advise that you set a password as
soon as possible to prevent unauthorized access to the DVR,
either locally or remotely. It is this same password can must be
entered for remote viewing the first time.
To set your PASSWORD:
• Select a user account to edit using the tick box labeled SEL. The ADMIN account will access all
functionality of the DVR. The User accounts will have varying levels of access, as the ADMIN
account holder dictates. Click EDIT to change the settings for your selected account.
• In the PASSWORD ENABLE box, you can choose whether logging onto this account requires a
password. If the ADMIN account is left unprotected, then all users will have total access.
• If you've enabled the password protection, enter the password in the box below, and again in the
adjacent box for confirmation.
• Remember to click APPLY, or changes won't be saved.
• If you want to change a user account's permissions, then you can do this by selecting the account
in question on the USER SETUP page, and clicking the button labeled PERMISSIONS. Simply check
the boxes next to the services you want that user to have access to.
NOTE: The default password to the ADMIN account on this DVR is "123456" - although it should not
be enabled by default. If you lose or forget your password (thus locking yourself out of the DVR) you'll
need to contact Swann Technical Support. Our number is on the back of this booklet. However, we
strongly advise that you choose a password you'll remember! It'll save grief later...
The Video Setup Menu
Video System: Here you can choose between PAL and NTSC. PAL is used in Western Europe and
Australia, NTSC is used in the US, Canada and Japan. If the DVR's picture is black and white, flickering
or similar, then this is probably caused by the video system being set incorrectly.
Video Output: Pick your preferred video output. You can choose from the Main or Spot outputs.
View Setup: Choose the default viewing mode for your system. You can choose any combination of
display setup (single channel, 2x2, 3x3 or 4x4) and any combination of channels to populate it with.
Rotate Time: How long channels will be displayed in Rotate mode.
VGA Resolution: This setting will determine how detailed the
image sent to a VGA compatible monitor (connected via the
VGA port on the rear of the DVR) will be. The term VGA is
somewhat of an anachronism, referring to the plug-type, not
to the actual resolution. The DVR can be set to four different
resolutions: SVGA (800 x 600), XGA (1024 x 728), SXGA (1280
x 1024) and UXGA (1600 x 1200). Note that all these resolutions
are intended for display on a standard 4:3 computer monitor
(i.e. not widescreen) and may look "stretched" if displayed on
a 16:9 or 16:10 widescreen monitor.
Init. DEV: The primary display device you want to use. By default, the menus and other on-screen
displays will be shown on this device, unless manually changed. By default it's set to VOUT (for a TV).
Volume: Changes the audio output volume from the DVR.
Margin: Changes the amount of black border around your images. This is useful if your TV suffers from
"overscan" (that is, the image displayed doesn't quite fit on the screen).
