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

Device Type	Model Number	Firmware Version
Value Series IP Camera	DS-2CD2xxx	V5.3.0
Smart Series IP Camera	DS-2CD4xxx	V5.3.0
NVR/Hybrid	DS-9016HWI-ST	V3.1.5
	DS-96xxNI-ST
	DS-7716NI-SP/16
Plug-n-Play NVR	DS-76xxNI-EI(E2)/P	V3.1.0
Turbo DVR	DS-72xxHGHI-SH	V3.1.6
	DS-73xxHQHI-SH
Super NVR	DS-96128NI-E24/H	TBD
	DS-96256NI-E24/H

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

•Local Activation

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).

20

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.

Figure 6 Activation Window

NOTE: The strength level indicator colors can vary by activation process, model number, and device type.

3.After an acceptable password has been created, a confirmation message will appear on the screen (Figure 7).

4.Press the OK button to proceed.

Figure 12 Activation Confirmation Message

23

DS-7600 Series NVR User’s Manual

•SADP Software Activation (v2.2.3.5 or higher)

1.Launch the new version of the SADP software (v2.2.3.5).

-The software will display all Hikvision devices on the network.

-A new field called “Security” will display whether the DVR/NVR is active or not (Figure 8).

2.If the DVR/NVR is “Inactive,” highlight the DVR/NVR and enter a new password into the “New Password” field on the bottom right of the screen (Figure 8). See “Password Strength Levels” table on page 37 for guidelines.

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

•Level 0–Risky (no indicator): Not acceptable

•Level 1–Weak (pink indicator): Acceptable

•Level 2–Medium (yellow indicator): Acceptable

•Level 3–Strong (green indicator): Acceptable
