Password Control
Password Setup
The system password allows you to protect the DVR’s settings & recording. Without the password the DVR menu can- not be accessed. We strongly advise that you set a password as soon as possible to prevent unauthorized access to the DVR, either locally or remotely. It is this same password can must be entered for remote viewing.
To set your PASSWORD:
•Open the PASSWORD submenu (located in the SYSTEM menu).
•Using the mouse or the arrow buttons, highlight the PASSWORD ENABLE
•Two new options will pop up: USER PASSWORD and ADMIN PASSWORD.
•The USER PASSWORD will grant access to the DVR and the footage stored on it. The ADMIN PASSWORD is required to change settings, the record modes and schedule, or to change other important aspects of the functionality of the DVR.
•Using the arrow buttons or the mouse, highlight the password field that you would like to change.
•Using the popup numerical pad which appears, enter the password of your choice. It almost goes without saying, but we’re going to say it twice: choose something you’ll remember!
•To protect against a mistake at this point (which would lock you out of your DVR) you’ll need to enter the password again in the CONFIRM box immediately next to the USER or ADMIN PASSWORD field.
NOTE: The default password to the DVR is “123456”. If you lose or forget your password (thus locking yourself out of the DVR) you’ll need to contact Swann Technical Support. Our number is on the back of this booklet. However, we strongly advise that you choose a password you’ll remember! It’ll save grief later...
Language

•Open the LANGUAGE submenu. It is located in the SYSTEM menu.
•Using the mouse or the arrow buttons, select the
•Choose the language that best suits your needs.
•Confirm your choice by pressing select or left clicking the option.
A Note on Languages:
Unless you really want to change the language of the DVR menus, stay away from this setting. Having the menus in a foreign language can make it difficult to get back to the menu to put the setting back to the right one! Having said that, if you do change it by mistake (or the DVR is in a foreign language when you get it) in the main menu, select the icon in the bottom right, then in the SYSTEM menu, LANGUAGES is the icon in the bottom left. That will bring you to the drop down menu where you can change languages.
