NOTE:

To access the features of the DX8000 Series DVR, you must log

in with a valid user name and password. The DX8000 comes equipped

with a built-in user account named “Guest.” Each time the unit is turned

on, the Guest account is automatically activated. In addition to the

Guest account, there are four other user access levels, or groups, that

can be conﬁgured on the DX8000. The Guest user is granted only limited

access to the system. The other four access levels range from the

Administrator group, with the most rights and privileges, to the

Restricted group, with the least rights and privileges. Refer to

Deﬁ

nition

of User Access Levels

on page 131 for information on the rights and

permissions of the user group to which you have been assigned. To

operate and conﬁgure all but the most basic features of the DX8000, you

must be assigned a user account other than Guest. If you have not been

assigned a user account, contact your system administrator before

proceeding.
