TruVision NVR 70 Quick Start Guide 3
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 users, time and
date, 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.
Important: Your TruVision unit is
delivered with default user name and
password credentials for initial access,
easy configuration and auto discovery.
