3.1 Start up Your Device
Proper startup and shutdown procedures are crucial to expanding the life of the NVR.
To start your device:
Step 1 Check the power supply is plugged into an electrical outlet. It is HIGHLY recommended that
an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) be used in conjunction with the device. The Power
button on the front panel should be red, indicating the device is receiving the power.
Step 2 Press the power button on the front panel (depending on models). The Power LED should
turn blue. The unit will begin to start.
After the device starts up, the wizard will guide you through the initial settings, including modifying
password, date and time settings, network settings, HDD initializing, and recording.
3.2 Activate Your Device
For the first-time access, you must set an admin password to activate the device. No operation is
allowed before activation. You can also activate a device via Web browser, SADP, or client software.
Step 1 Enter the admin password twice.
