2. Q: We have changed the password but can’t remember the new password, how can we access the system?
A: If you forget system password, please consult with the service personnel.

power.
5. Q: Can the DVR have problems if it gets too hot, how can I prevent this?
A: The DVR has a fan to help it dissipate heat while it is running. Please place the DVR in a place where
