Enter Password
Like accessing the NVR directly, if you are accessing the NVR for the first time you will need to
enter a password for the device. Enter a password. Click Next to continue.
Next, it is recommended to secure your NVR with an Email address and security questions. The
Email address entered can be used for password recovery purposes in case a password is
forgotten or needs to be reset.
Enter a valid email address and then select and answer the security questions provided in the
dropdown menu. Click OK when done.
When the NVR has been setup successfully you will hear a beep from the NVR and a prompt in
the browser letting you know that the initialization is complete. You will then be taken to the login
screen. Enter the username and password for your NVR then click Login.
Note: Please allow all permissions to allow the plugins to function in your browser. Once the
plugins are allowed the main menu screen will appear.
