3.1.1 Startup Wizard
When the NVR is powered up for the first time or the NVR is restored to factory settings, the Startup Wizard will be
displayed. Users can set common NVR functions by following the procedures step-by-step
NOTE:
Email address password resets require a mobile phone with the DMSS app. This can be downloaded for free from
the App Store / Google Play.
NOTE:
We
strongly recommend
setting up email password reset and security questions. If the password is forgotten
and no recovery method is set up, the recorder will need to be sent back to the supplier for a system reset, which will
incur a fee even if the system is still within the warranty period.
