The Setup Wizard
Wizard: Time, Date, Location, Live View
It’s important to ensure that your DVR has the correct
time and date, as well as the correct time zone set.
This is particularly true in a legal context when a mis-
taken time or date can mean the difference between
your security footage being regarded as legitimate
evidence or not!
Time Zone:
Select your location from the list. The East
Coast of the United States is GMT -05:00 and the West
Coast is GMT -08:00. The UK is at GMT+ 00:00 and the
East Coast of Australia is at GMT +10:00.
Remember that these values will be displaced by an
hour during DST (daylight savings time) if that applies
in your locale. However, don’t set that here - the DVR
supports automatically adjusting the time during DST
- see page 35.
Setup Wizard: Admin Password
For your on-going security and peace of mind, we
strongly suggest setting a password for your
Admin
account. A password can be any combination of num-
bers (
no
letters) up to 16 numerals long.
Admin Password:
Enter the existing Admin password
here. The default password for the
Admin
account is
12345
. Don’t enter what you’d
like
the password to be
- that goes in the fields below this one.
New Admin Password (check-box):
When checked,
the DVR will accept a new password for the Admin
account.
New Password / Confirm:
Enter what you’d like the
new password to be in the upper field, and then con-
firm it in the lower field.
