Write down your password in the space provided below for safe keeping.
Confirm: Enter your password again to confirm.
Please note: If password protection has been temporarily disabled
(you can do this by turning off “Menu Timeouts”), your password is still
required when using the HomeSafe View app to access your DVR. See the
“HomeSafe View Quick Start Guide” for more information.
Don’t forget to write down your password: _________________________

The Startup Wizard automat-
ically runs the first time you
start your DVR and will guide
you through all the steps to
get you up and running. You

Wizard at any time to change
your password and to access
the other settings available.
Please be patient as it can
take a moment for the Start-
up Wizard to appear.
Your DVR requires an email
address so it can send you
email alerts and to send you
a password reset request (if
password is forgotten). The
following email providers are
supported - Gmail gmail.com
and Outlook outlook.com. On
your computer, go to the rel-
evant website to create an
account. When finished, in-

dress and password are correct.
2. Located at the back of your

flashing LEDs (above the Ether-
net port). If you don’t see this,
disconnect then reconnect the
Ethernet cable or try a different
port on your router.

support.swann.com.

The NTP (Network Time
Protocol) function gives your
DVR the ability to automat-
ically sync its clock with a
time server. This ensures
that the date and time are
always accurate (your DVR
will periodically sync time
automatically). Obviously this
is very important for a secu-
rity system and is an integral
function of your DVR.

“Date” mode.
