7.1.7 Password Verification

7.1.8 Camera/Channel Settings

The Password Verification screen of the Startup Wizard will display your Admin password. Night Owl strongly
recommends writing down your password within the Quick Setup Guide of your DVR.

The Camera/Channel Settings screen of the Startup Wizard serves as a reminder to mount your system’s cameras
in the final position so you can make accurate adjustments to positioning, detection area and channel sensitivity.
