First-time use

The recorder has an express installation
wizard that lets you easily configure basic

recorder settings when first used. It

configures all cameras simultaneously. The
configuration can then be customized as

required.

By default, the setup wizard will start once

the

recorder has loaded. The wizard walks

you through some of the more important
settings of your

recorder. Select the

preferred language for the system and then
enter the administrator password. The
default admin password is 1234. It is
strongly recommended that this password is

changed.

The wizard will then guide you through the
menus to set the time and date, network
configuration, HDD management, and
recording configuration.

When all the required changes have been

entered, click Finish to exit the wizard. The

recorder is now ready to use. Recording

starts automatically.
