Express installation
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 set the
administrator password. There is no default
password provided.
The wizard will then guide you through the
menus to set the time and date, network
configuration, HDD management, and
recording configuration.
