Chapter 3: Quick-Start (Turning the DVR ON for the First Time)
Before starting the machine, make sure that a Hard Drive has been installed and all the lines are
connected correctly (refer to Chapter 2 for more information).
Start the DVR:
Plug the power line in; switch power button at the back of the recorder to ON; power indicator will light
on; DVR is starting.
The default four windows for the video output will appear on the monitor.
If the DVR was turned on during the set “Timed Recording” times, recording will start automatically.
To change the “Timed Recording” settings, go into Menu -> System Setting -> Timing.
Default “Timed Recording” is preset to 00:00 AM – 00:00 AM; ON (recording 24 hours a day).
Enter the Settings menu
Press Enter (password prompt will appear)
There are two levels of password (Guest, and Manager). At this point you need to enter the Manager
password.
Default password is “555555”. To enter this password press the “Play Next” button () 6 times.
For security reasons, we recommend you change the password.
To change the Manager password go to Menu -> Admin Settings -> Password
In the “Manage” field, enter your Manager password (any combination of the Playback Control buttons).
Press Enter
Enter this password again in the “Confirm” field.
Press Enter twice.
MAKE SURE TO REMEMBER THIS PASSWORD!
Power Blackout Recovery:
When the power is cut off during the DVR’s operation, the DVR will preserve the recorded
information and settings. When the power is back online, the unit will power itself up and continue
recording. To avoid Hard Disk failures, and for security reasons, we recommend the DVR to be
connected through a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) device.
