IMPORTANT!
It is highly recommended that you change your system
password after you complete the setup of your system to ensure the security
of your system. Record your changes and keep that information stored
securely as the system will prevent access if the incorrect login information
is attempted three times within a 30-minute period. If you find yourself locked
out of the NVR because of this, wait 30 minutes, reboot the NVR and attempt
to log into it again.
Using the mouse or remote control, select your user name and enter your password.
Whenever the cursor is over a text field, a keyboard icon will appear to the right. Clicking
within the field itself will open the virtual keyboard as explained in
Section 2.2
. Clicking on
the keyboard icon allows you to cycle between numbers, letters (upper and lower case) and
symbols when appropriate.
Until new accounts are added, there are two pre-configured accounts available to users who
log into the NVR:
• Administrator (local and network) User name:
admin

Once you have logged in, the NVR will display one or more camera channels in Live View.
How many channels are displayed will depend on how many cameras you have connected as
well as what multi-view mode you have chosen.
After a period of inactivity – configurable in the
General Setting
submenu described in
Section 4.3
– the NVR will log users out. This will require the current user to re-enter their
password.
SHORTCUT MENU
In
Live View
mode, right-clicking anywhere
on the screen will bring up the
Shortcut
Menu
.
This menu allows you to quickly change your
viewing mode as well as moving directly to
a selection of menus, including the
Main
Menu
.
View
- This allows you to view a group of
cameras on screen at the same time. The
number of cameras available will depend on
how many cameras your NVR will support.
The shortcut menu on a 4-channel NVR
will not offer the 8, 9 or 16 camera options,
for example. The arrows to the right of the
options will allow you to select specific
cameras.
