Activating Your DVR
To ensure the highest level of protection, Hikvision has launched a login procedure that requires
users to create a new password for the admin account upon the first login to all devices. The
password must contain 8 to 16 characters, combining numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase
letters, and special characters. At least two types of the above-mentioned characters are
required to activate the device. The system will check the password strength; "Risky" passwords
will not be accepted.

Super NVR
NOTE: DVRs/NVRs starting with the latest firmware (see chart, above) WILL NO
LONGER HAVE A DEFAULT PASSWORD. The user must activate the NVR by
creating a password for the admin account, which can be done in one of four
ways:
•
Local Activation
1. Power on the DVR/NVR.
- An activation message will appear on the screen prompting the user to
activate the device (Figure 15).
- The username field will be greyed-out with the username set to admin.
2. Type in a password of your choosing (see "Password Strength Levels" table on
page 37 for guidelines).
