Password Setup
Setting Up Passwords & User Permissions
When you first startup your DVR, you are automatically logged in as the ADMIN under Device ID: 000000. By default, passwords
are disabled on the system. You will not need a password to log in or access menus. You will not need a password to access your
system using the browser-based remote software.
The system employs two levels of user authorities connected to a Device ID. The levels are as follows:
1. ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator and user passwords and enable/
disable password checking
2. USER (normal user): Only has access to live viewing, search, playback, and other limited authorities.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. If you enable passwords, you must select a
1-8 digit ADMIN password and a 1-8 digit USER password.
The ADMIN and USER passwords must not be the same.
If you
forget your password, contact First Alert Consumer Affairs for help in resetting.
To customize PASSWORD settings, click SYSTEM from the Main Menu, then click
PASSWORD. You are now in the User Setup menu. From here you can change the
DEVICE ID if desired. Note this is not a required for a basic setup:
1. Device ID: Click the field beside Device ID and enter a 6-digit numerical De-
vice ID using the Virtual Keyboard.
