using the setup Wizard.

First-time use

The TVR 11 has an express installation wizard
that lets you easily configure basic DVR
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
DVR has loaded. The wizard walks you
through some of the more important settings
of your DVR. 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
TVR 11 is now ready to use. Recording starts
automatically.

• Front panel

functions. See Figure 2 on page 2 for the
