Activate the admin password
When you first start up the unit, the Activation window appears. You must define a high-security
admin password before you can access the unit. There is no default password provided.
A message will appear on-screen when the unit has been activated.
Figure 1: Password activation window
User Name: It is always “admin”. It cannot be changed.
The bar showing password strength
Enter the new admin password and confirm it.
Tips on creating a strong password:
• A valid password range must be between 8 and 16 characters. You must use at least one
character from each of the following items: numbers, lower-case letters, upper-case letters,
and special characters : _ - , .* & @ / $ ? Space. The maximum number of allowed attempts
to enter a password is 3. Lockout is 30 minutes when in web mode and 10 minutes when in
OSD mode.
• The password is case-sensitive.
• Do not use personal information or common words as “password”.
• The password cannot contain the username.
• We recommend that you do not use a space at the start or end of a password, and that you
reset your password regularly. For high security systems, it is particularly recommended to
reset the password monthly or weekly for better protection.
Note: If you should forget your admin password, please contact Technical Support to reactivate
the unit with a new password.
Go to Chapter 16 “User management” on page 125 for further information on creating user
passwords.

Physical installation
This section describes how to install the recorder.
Installation environment
When installing your product, consider these factors:
•Ventilation
•Temperature
•Humidity
•Chassis load
Ventilation: Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure that the location planned for the installation of the unit is
well ventilated.
Temperature: Consider the unit’s operating temperature (-10 to +55 ºC, 14 to 131 °F) and
noncondensing humidity specifications (10 to 90%) before choosing an installation location.
Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may reduce the life
expectancy of the recorder. Do not install the unit on top of other hot equipment. Leave 44 mm
(1.75 in.) of space between rack-mounted NVR units.
Humidity: Do not use the unit near water. Moisture can damage the internal components. To
reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
Chassis: Equipment weighing less than 15.9 kg (35 lb.) may be placed on top of the unit.
Unpacking the recorder and its accessories
When you receive the product, check the package and contents for damage, and verify that all
items are included. There is an item list included in the package. If any of the items are
damaged or missing, please contact your local supplier.
