C H A P T E R 2 Activating Your DVR

To ensure the highest level of protection, Hikvision has launched a login procedure that requires users to create a new password for the admin account upon the first login to all devices. The password must contain 8 to 16 characters, combining numbers, lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and special characters. At least two types of the above-mentioned characters are

required to activate the device. The system will check the password strength; “Risky” passwords

will not be accepted.

Device Firmware with Secure Activation

NOTE: DVRs/NVRs starting with the latest firmware (see chart, above) WILL NO

• Local Activation

LONGER HAVE A DEFAULT PASSWORD. The user must activate the NVR by creating a password for the admin account, which can be done in one of four ways:

1. Power on the DVR/NVR.

- An activation message will appear on the screen prompting the user to activate the device (Figure 1).

- The username field will be greyed-out with the username set to admin.

2. Type in a password of your choosing (see “Password Strength Levels” table on page 37 for guidelines).

DS-7600 Series NVR User’s Manual

- The password strength will be displayed, accompanied by a color

indicator:

• Level 0–Risky (red indicator): Not acceptable

• Level 1–Weak (red indicator): Acceptable

• Level 2–Fair (orange indicator): Acceptable

• Level 3–Strong (blue indicator): Acceptable

- Activation will not be allowed unless the password is of acceptable

strength (Figures 4, 5, and 6).

3. Retype the password into the “Confirm Password” field.
