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. You must define a
high-security admin password before you can
access the unit. There is no default password
provided.

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.
