IMPORTANT:
It is important to leave a clearance of 10cm around the chassis. The clearance is required to ensure an adequate airflow through the chassis to ventilate heat.
To ensure normal operation, maintain ambient airflow. Do not block the airflow around chassis such as placing the system in a closed cabinet.

5 Initial Configuration - via a Local Console
A local console requires the following:
1.A monitor or TV is connected via an HDMI cable.
2.A mouse and/or a keyboard are connected to the system.
3.It is presumed that the system has not been configured yet. The Installation wizard only appears for an unconfigured machine or one that was restored to its default.
Follow the onscreen messages to complete the initial configuration:
1.When started for the first time, the system will prompt for the forceful configuration of a password. This ensures security from malicious network attack.
The applicable alpha-numeric characters are [0-9][a-z][A-Z][!][$][%][-][.][@][^][_][~], with a max. length of 64 characters.
Click the Apply button when the new password is accepted.
2.Select the UI language, Time zone, and current date and time. Click on the Continue button to proceed.

IMPORTANT:
Except in the initial setup, changing system time can produce disruptions to the existing recordings. Turning the current system time back to a time when video recording was taking place can generate duplicate files. And those files may not be playable.
3. The system will then start to scan the local subnet for connected cameras.
4.All cameras detected on the network will be automatically listed. If necessary, deselect the cameras you want to exclude from the configuration.
Cameras properly installed in the same subnet should all be listed. If you cannot find a camera, examine its network connections or network configuration.
User's Manual - 13
VIVOTEK - Built with Reliability
Enter the credentials for each selected cameras on screen. Click Finish to proceed.
NOTE:
1.The resolution and fps (frame rate per second) of stream 1 may vary depending on the specifications of different cameras.
2.Up to two clients viewing 2x 720P streams is acceptable. If more clients are simultaneously viewing more video streams, the machine can be stressed.
NOTE:
Although the system supports MAC Binding, the system should be able to detect VIVOTEK's cameras within the network regardless of the presence of a DHCP server. Ideally, cameras and the Receiver should reside in the same subnet. If a camera's IP is changed for some reasons, the system should be able to detect its new IP.
