DATE/TIME

IMPORTANT! Date and time should be properly set before continuing so that you can easily locate recorded events. Inaccurate dates and times on files may affect their admissibility as evidence.

• DATE: Enter the day, month, and year.

PASSWORD

When you first startup your system, you are automatically logged in as the ADMIN under Device ID000000. By default, passwords are disabled on the system. You will not need a password to log in or access menus. You will not need a password to access your system using the browser-based remote software.

The system employs two levels of user authorities connected to a Device ID. The authorities are as follows:

•ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator and user passwords and enable/disable password checking

•USER (normal user): Only has access to live viewing, search, playback, and other limited authorities.

For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. If you enable passwords, you must select a 6-digit ADMIN password and a 6-digit USER password.

The QS434 and QS464 only support one Admin and one User account.
