All the other connections shown are

optional and depend upon installation requirements.

2. Connect the power supply 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.

Operating the recorder

There are several ways to control the unit:

• Front panel control

• IR remote control

• Mouse control

• Web browser control (TruVision Navigator, TVRmobile)

• KTD-405 keypad control

• TVK-800 keypad (from TVK-800 firmware

version 1.0i)

Front panel

The buttons on the front panel control most functions. See Figure 2 on page 2 for the locations of the controls.

IR remote control

The IR remote control buttons are similar to those on the front panel. Place the two AAA batteries in the remote control.
