Menu System Overview
The detailed functions and settings of Versatile/Lite H.264 DVR can be set by entering the
intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI) OSD setup menu. Collaborating with a USB mouse,
setting up the DVR can be easy as operating on a PC. This chapter particularizes the items
and options in the OSD setup menu.
< Username and Password >
Press MENU and select an account to login. There are two preset accounts: “admin” and
“user”. The next step is to enter a corresponding password. The preset password for the
administrator account “admin” is “1234”, while the preset password for the account “user” is
“4321”.
NOTE: It is strongly suggested to change the preset password to prevent
unauthorized access to the unit.
An icon displayed at the status bar will show the authority level of the account. Under logout
condition, the icon will show “Guest”. When an account is logged in, its authority level
number (1~8) will be shown.
Before completely logout, other functions can also be accessed without having to login
again. There are two ways to logout: manually logout by pressing ESC key at Live mode, or
auto logout when keys are not pressed for a preset period of time (default 5 minutes) at
Live/ Menu mode.
< Key Usage >
The key usage differs under the OSD menu and in the Virtual keyboard. The difference can
be seen while setting some items, such as Unit Name and IP Address.
 Key Usage in OSD Menu
The following introduce some keys used frequently to setup the DVR via the OSD
menu.
<Direction Keys>
In the OSD menu, Direction Keys are used to move the cursor to previous or next
fields. UP / DOWN are used to change the value in the selected field.
<ENTER>
