SAFETY TIPS

1. Make sure the cameras and the monitors are properly connected to the NVR.

2. The NVR should be placed in a dust and moisture free environment. It must never be directly exposed to

sunlight. Server room temperature is highly recommended to reduce the chance of overheating, which
may cause the NVR to become unstable.

means you will not be able to access the NVR’s setup menu
until you enter the proper username and password.

2. To unlock the NVR, right-click any where on the screen. The

login screen will appear. (Default Username / Password:
admin / no password)
