IMPORTANT GUIDELINES
*
Do not expose the DVR to moisture.
Water is the arch-enemy of electrical components and
also poses a high risk of electric shock.
*
Avoid dusty locations. Dust has a tendency to build up inside the DVR case
, leading to a
high risk of failure or even fire.
*
Only install the DVR in a well ventilated space.
The circuitry and hard drive in the DVR
produces a significant amount of heat, and this heat needs a way out.
*
Do not open the DVR case except to install/swap the hard drive inside.
There are no user
serviceable parts inside.
*
Never open the case whilst the DVR is plugged in,
and never turn the DVR on whilst the case
is open.
*
Use only the supplied power adapter.
Other adapters may cause damage to the DVR or
cause a fire.
*
Do not cut or modify any cable for any reason.
Doing so will void your warranty, as well as
pose a great risk of fire or electrical shock.
*
Do not expose the DVR to sudden bumps or shocks
(for example, being dropped). The DVR
is as robust as possible, but many of the internal components are quite fragile.
* Remember that the DVR is, in all likelihood, going to be left on
24 hours a day, 7 days a week
.
Keep this in mind when choosing a location for installation.
Default Password Information
To ensure your privacy, this DVR supports password protection.
USERNAME: The default, all-access username is “admin”. If the DVR asks you to log in before
you’ve set a password, enter admin as your username and leave the password blank. This will
give you access to all areas of the DVR.
PASSWORD: There is no “default” password - until you set a password and en -able password
protection, the DVR will not ask you for one.
To ensure your ongoing privacy, we strongly recommend setting a password as soon as
possible. Choose something that you’ll remember, but that others would be unlikely to guess.
If you do manage to lock yourself out of the DVR, you’ll need to contact us at the Swann
Technical Support Telephone Helpdesk - the number is on the back cover.
