If you have assigned an unlock pattern, you will need to draw the pattern again to confirm your
assigned unlock pattern.
Password Protection
Additional means of password protection and retrieval can be set up in this menu. If you would
like to reset your password using your email, make sure the email address checkbox is enabled
and enter a valid email address in the Email Address field. The email address will be retained in
the system.
If you do not want to use an email address you can disable the email address option. As a
secondary means of recovering your password, you can apply security questions to your NVR.
To add a question, select a question from the drop-down menus for Question 1, Question 2,
and Question 3 and enter the answers to those questions in the Answer fields.
Once this section is complete, click on the Save button to save your information to the device.
Startup Wizard Walkthrough
The first page of the Startup Wizard will appear which allows you to setup any General, Network,
Remote Devices, and Record Control Settings for the NVR.
Before proceeding please note, most Amcrest products are H.265 compatible. H.265 provides a
more advanced technology than H.264 and allows the device to reduce file sizes which in turn
helps to reduce required bandwidth without sacrificing frames per second (FPS) or
resolution. However, for maximum compatibility when accessing your device in a web browser,
or other third-party applications, our H.265 compatible products will come factory default to
H.264.
For optimal performance, the device's compression can be upgraded to H.265 during the camera
registration process.
