5- Configure the Date and Time

for details on the features used in this step.
A.
Select Config Button in the upper right hand corner of the Main NVR Interface.
B.
Select System Information in the left side menu and configure Time Settings as needed.
Tip:
Using an NTP server, and setting the time zone, and enabling DST is the best method for maintaining accurate
time. We recommend that pool.ntp.org is used as it pulls time from a range of time servers that provide backup to
each other in the event of server outage.
6- Change the Administrator Password
Now that the NVR is visible on the network, we recommend that the administrator password is changed from the default to
prevent unwanted access.

7- Configure User Accounts to Access the NVR
There are 2 levels of users, Administrator which is the default admin account, and Guest accounts.
The admin account is the only account that can be set as an administrator, cannot be changed to a user account, , and
cannot be deleted.
An unlimited number of Guest accounts can be added that can view and control the function of the NVR. User accounts can
be selectively granted permissions to access or modify many of the NVR settings.
Access to the NVR varies based on the level:
Administrator
Has access to all functions of the NVR including configuration. This account cannot be deleted.
Guest
Has access to view the NVR. Depending on permissions, may or may not be allowed access to configuration
and settings. Guests without such permissions who attempt to access to the NVR configuration will be
prompted for the Admin username and password.
