First-time use
The TVN 50 has an express installation
wizard that lets you easily configure basic
NVR settings when first used. It configures
all cameras simultaneously. The
configuration can then be customized as
required.

EN : 4 TVN 50 Quick Start Guide
By default, the setup wizard will start once
the NVR has loaded. The wizard walks you
through some of the more important
settings of your NVR. 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 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 50 is now ready to use. Recording
starts automatically.
