Password Setup
Setting Up Passwords & User Permissions
When you first startup your DVR, you are automatically logged in as the ADMIN under Device ID: 000000. By default, passwords 
are disabled on the system. You will not need a password to log in or access menus. You will not need a password to access your 
system using the browser-based remote software.
The system employs two levels of user authorities connected to a Device ID. The levels are as follows:
1.  ADMIN (administrator): Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator and user passwords and enable/
disable password checking
2.  USER (normal user): Only has access to live viewing, search, playback, and other limited authorities.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. If you enable passwords, you must select a 
1-8 digit ADMIN password and a 1-8 digit USER password. The ADMIN and USER passwords must not be the same. If you 
forget your password, contact First Alert Consumer Affairs for help in resetting. 
 
To customize PASSWORD settings, click SYSTEM from the Main Menu, then click 
PASSWORD. You are now in the User Setup menu. From here you can change the 
DEVICE ID if desired. Note this is not a required for a basic setup:
1.  Device ID: Click the field beside Device ID and enter a 6-digit numerical De-
vice ID using the Virtual Keyboard. 
Next, in the USER SETUP Menu click CONFIG to set up users. NOTE: Only the 
Administrator can enter the CONFIG setup. You can change the 
STATE: active or not (Note for User Set #1, ADMIN, the STATE  of ACTIVE or 
INACTIVE cannot be changed.)
USER NAME: Assign or change user name using the virtual keyboard.
PASSWORD ENABLE: enable  or disable the password for this user
PASSWORD: Password must be 1-8 digits
CONFIRM: confirm the password
PERMISSION: Select all permissions for this user. (NOTE: this option is not 
available for ADMIN as they have all permissions). Available choices are:
Standby, Record Setup, HDD Manage, Language Setup, Time Setup, Start/
Stop Record, Display Setup, Alarm Setup, System Info, Motion Detect, Mobile 
Setup, System Setup, PTZ Setup, Network Setup, Video/Audio Set, IE Preview

NEXT: Moves to next selecting page.

CLEAN: Clears all permissions. 
NOTE: This page is available for the administrator. The administrator can 
assign permissions for the user. The user can view but can not change 
their permissions.
