Managing Passwords

ATTENTION: 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.

When you first startup your system, you are technically logged in as the ADMIN. The system employs two user authorities connected to the system---ADMIN and USER.

•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 USER password and a 6-digit ADMIN password. By default, the system password is disabled.

You can change the system password of the ADMIN and the USER from the User menu.

To change the admin password:

1Click the Main Menu button ( )in the menu bar.
