First-time use
The recorder
has an express installation

recorder
settings when first used. It configures
all cameras simultaneously. The configuration
can then be customized as required.
By default, the setup
w
izard will start once the
recorder has loaded. The w
izard walks you
through some of the more important settings
of your
recorder
. Se
lect
the preferred
language for the system and then enter the
administrator password. The default admin
password is 1234. It is strongly recommended
that this password is changed.
The w
izard will then guide you through the
menus to set the time and date, network
configuration, HDD management, and
recording configuration.
When all the required changes have been
entered, click
Finish
to exit the
w
izard. The
recorder
is now ready to use. Recording starts
