Activating Your DVR
To ensure the highest level of protection, Hikvision has launched a login procedure that requires
users to create a new password for the
admin account upon the first login to all devices. The
password must contain 8 to 16 characters, combining numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase
letters, and special characters. At least two types of the above-mentioned characters are
required t
o activate the device. The system will check the password strength; “Risky” passwords
will not be accepted.

admin account, which can be done in one of four
ways:
• Local Activation
1. Power on the DVR/NVR.
- An activation message will appear on the screen prompting the user to
activate the device
(Figure 15) .
-
The username field will be greyed-out with the username set to admin .
2. Type in a password of your choosing
(see “Password Strength Levels” table on
page 37 for guidelines).
