language for the system and then enter the
administrator password. The default admin
password is 1234. It is strongly

changed.

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
NVR is now ready to use. Recording starts
automatically.
