Page 6
1. Connect all the devices required to the
back panel of the
recorder. See Figure 1
on page 3.

Optional connections:
All the other connections shown are
optional and depend upon installation
requirements.
2. Connect the power cord to the unit and
turn on the power.
3. Set up the unit with the required
settings using the setup wizard.
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.
