ALIEN HERO INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Last Revised 16/10/2013
Accessing the DVR
The domain name registered takes the form of the DVR’s internal serial number
followed by ippostcode.com, for example: dsw99999.ippostcode.com, you use this as
a domain entry in CCTVWindow or the mobile clients instead of a numerical IP
address.
A Word of Warning - Change the ‘admin’ Password
1.
Given that Alien domains follow the same format ‘
serial-number.ippostcode.com’
it doesn’t take much effort for a third party to locate your DVR on a trial and error
basis. If you don’t change the default admin password you are leaving the device wide
open for public access.
2.
Don’t lose the new password; there is no backdoor otherwise the DVR will be
coming back to us for engineer reset.
