Password Setup
Setting Up User Permissions & Passwords
The SYSTEM categorizes users into two main groups, Local and
Network.
• LOCAL USER: Refers to users who control host-end DVR
• NETWORK USER: Refers to users who control and view the DVR
from a remote location via a wired or wireless network.
• Within the Network category, a Guest user can be created. Guest
users will have access to channel viewing only.
When you first startup your DVR, you are automatically logged in as
the ADMIN under local user and abc as the network user. .
• By default, local passwords are disabled on the system.
You will not need a password to log in or access menus.
• The network ADMIN USeR (abc) is set up with a password
of ‘123’.
• For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable pass-
words on your system. If you enable passwords, select a 1-10
alpha-numeric USER password.
• If you forgot your password, please contact First Alert Consumer
Affairs @ 1-800-323-9005. A notarized letter will be needed for any
password override.
Local USeR Authorities as follows:
• ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can
change both administrator and user passwords, enable/disable
password, and add or delete user authorities.
• Local USER (normal user): The user access is granted by the
ADMIN.
