configures all cameras simultaneously. The

you through some of the more important
settings of your
recorder
. Select the
preferred language for the system and then
enter the administrator password. The
default admin password is 1234. It is
strongly recommended t
hat this password is
changed.
The wizard will then guide you through the
menus to set the time and date, network
configuration, HDD management, and
recording configuration.
When all the required changes have been
entered, click
Finish
to exit the wizard. T
he
recorder
is now ready to use. Recording
starts automatically.
