    Login By default, there are two user accounts: admin and user. The password for the admin account is admin. The password for the user account is user. We recommend changing the password after first login which must be documented and controlled by the company. Monitors should scale the MDR video output automatically, but some monitors do not do this.

  • Page 17: Record Search

    Record Search Rec Search allows you to search based on source, type, channel, date, month, year and time. Source can be selected to retrieve the data. This can be HDD, Sub- stream SD or Main Stream SD. By default, HDD is selected. HDD recording represents higher quality recordings found on the HDD.
