Password Setup
Setting Up Passwords & User Permissions
When you first startup your DVR, you are automatically logged
in as the ADMIN.
By default, passwords are disabled
on the system. You will not need a password to log in
or access menus.
You will not need a password to access
your system using the browser-based remote software.
Click ok to access this menu.
The system employs three levels of user
authorities. The levels are as follows:
• ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can
change both administrator and user passwords and enable/disable
password checking and can add or delete user authorities.
• DEFAULT USER (normal user): Only has access to live
viewing, search, playback, and other limited authorities.
• GUEST: Only has access to live viewing, search,
playback, and other limited authorities.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on
your system. If you enable passwords, select a 6-digit USER password.
The ADMIN and USER passwords must not be the same. If you forgot your
password, please contact First Alert Consumer Affairs @ 1-800-323-9005
