After successful connection and boot of your DVR, you will be taken through rst-time setup for your surveillance
system. Here you will congure system security and begin customising your DVR, including setting camera encoding
options, record scheduling, network setup and remote view conguration.
NOTE: Each setting shown in the Startup Wizard can be modied later via the DVR main menu. See the Menu Quick
Guide in Section 6 or see the full user manual for more information.
Following the prompts, complete each section in the Startup Wizard, as detailed below:
2.1.1 Securing your DVR
Your DVR has 3 permanent users with different levels of access (see Fig.
2.1). In the Startup Wizard, you will be prompted to change the admin user
password. This is to prevent unauthorised remote access via the Internet
to your DVR.
1. Enter a strong admin user password, using letters, numbers & symbols.
2. Conrm your admin user password.
3. Enter security questions/answers to be used if the admin password is
forgotten.
NOTE: Security question answers are case-sensitive, please take note of letter casing when entering answers.
2.1.2 General DVR Setup

of your DVR. By default, your DVR is set to overwrite existing footage, have 5 minutes instant playback and logout
automatically after 10 minutes. You can also conrm date & time and set a holiday recording scheduling.
Default settings are adequate to get started, we recommend checking the following:
1. In the General tab, assign a name to your DVR.
2. Switch to the Date & Time tab and conrm correct settings. This directly affects footage search & playback.
