Smart Setup
Smart Setup is a quick and easy way to configure some of the
key settings on the alienHero. This is a useful tool when using the
DVR for the first time.
To enable Smart Setup, start the device and from the Main menu
enter the ‘
Set Up
’ Menu (
page 26
). Check ‘
Smart Setup
’ in the
general tab, click ‘
Apply
’. Now go back to Main menu and enter
the ‘
Turn Off
’ menu. From here click ‘
Reboot
’ to restart the DVR.
Upon restart the DVR will enter Smart Setup.
Settings which can be configured during Smart Setup:
Resolution
Quickly set the output resolution of the DVR. For a monitor
we recommend 1280 x 1024. For a TV we recommend
1920 x 1080 (1080p).
Admin Password
As all our DVRs come with the same admin password, it is highly
recommended that you set your own unique admin password.
Doing this during Smart Setup ensures you DVR is secure right
from the get go. (See Admin Password Setup on the left.)
Time & Date
It is vitally important to set the DVR to the correct time and date.
