Once the DVR has been connected to power
it will switch itself on automatically. The DVR
takes approximately 45 seconds to boot up,
during which time the image to the right will
be displayed.
When you fi rst press a button on the remote
control or click a button on the mouse, the
DVR may ask you to LOGIN.
To get full functionality of the DVR, enter the username admin and leave the password
fi eld blank. To change the admin password, alter user priviledges or change whether
the DVR requires a secure login or not, see "User Setup Menu" on page 55.
The default mode of the DVR is live-viewing mode. This is the mode which monitors
the images coming from your cameras in real-time, and allows you to confi gure your
recording and channel options. The DVR automatically starts in live-viewing mode,
with multi-view enabled.
The fi rst thing you'll probably open is the pop-up menu. To access the pop-up
context menu, right-click anywhere on the live-viewing screen, or press the MENU
/ ESC button on the remote control. The pop-up menu lets you quickly access the
following functions, which can be selected by left-clicking the option you want. The
