2.3 System Login
When the DVR boots up, the user must first login before being able to operate
the system normally and change settings. The login function is formostly a
security measure to prevent unorthorised user access to main functions of the
device. What it also allows is a method to differenciate between the registered
users on the system by the level of security access to certain allocated
permissions/allowances to each user. The default user names are
‘
admin
’
and
‘
default
’.
These names have no password, but you can allocate passwords to
them using the
‘Accounts’
menu (See chapter 2.5.2).
‘Admin’ is the top login
access user name; the default permissions are preview and video playback. The
user password can be changed, while their permissions cannot be revised. The
user
‘default’ is the default login user whose permission can be revised but not its
password.
Figure 2.1 Login
Password protection: If the password is inputted incorrectly three times in
a row, the alarm will be triggered. If the password is inputted incorrectly
five times, the account will be locked. The account will unlock
automatically through rebooting the device after 30 minutes.
For your system security, please modify your password after first login.
