The default user account
The video system is delivered with a default user account with
full access rights. The user name is
admin
, and initially, no
passphrase is set.
It is mandatory to set a passphrase for the default

is also mandatory to set a passphrase for any other user
with ADMIN rights.
Keep a copy of the passphrase in a safe place. You have
to factory reset the unit if you forget the passphrase.
A warning, saying that the system passphrase is not set, is shown
on screen until a passphrase is set for the
admin
user.
Other user accounts
You can create many user accounts for the video system.
