LOGGING ON AND LOGGING OFF

You must log on to the unit with a valid user name and password to operate the DVR. User names and passwords are case sensitive. By default,
the unit includes one administrator logon account; both the default user name and password are admin.
NOTES:
• The unit’s front panel LOGIN and arrow buttons are available for logging on to the unit. The remaining front panel controls become available
after you log on to the unit.
• When you log on for the first time, the system does not automatically prompt you to change the default administrator password. Anyone
who knows the administrator user name (ID) and the default password can access the unit; therefore, Pelco recommen ds that you change
the password and store it in a secure location. (The admin user name cannot be changed.)
Passwords must be from four to eight characters in length.
To log on to the unit:
1. On the toolbar, click Login .
2. Type the password using the on-screen keyboard.
3. Click OK. The system logs you on the Login icon turns blue.
To log off from the unit, click Login . The system logs you off and the Login icon turns black.
