SETUP LOGIN

In this section, we will discuss how to configure the mDVR510x to meet your requirements. The process is

straightforward and easy to follow; the DVR setup is divided into six major components: SYSTEM, CAMERA,

SENSOR, NETWORK, STATUS and TOOLS. The system will already have been configured at the factory for your

specific system requirements, but of course can be updated as needed.

You can access the SYSTEM CONFIGURATION by clicking on the “SETUP” button from the DVRViewer application

and login in using the default username and password of “admin” and “admin”.
