TruVision DVR 12 User Manual
Using the setup wizard
The TVR 12 has an express installation wizard that lets you easily configure
basic recorder settings when first used. It configures all cameras simultaneously.
The configuration can then be customized as required.
By default the setup wizard will start once the recorder has loaded. It will walk
you through some of the more important settings of your recorder.
Any changes you make to a setup configuration page are saved when you exit
the page and return to the main wizard page.
Note
: If you want to set up the recorder with default settings only, click
Next
in
each screen until the end.
To quickly set up the recorder:
1. Connect all the devices required to the back panel of the recorder. See
Figure 1 on page 9.

: It is strongly recommended that you change the password of the
