Activating Your DVR
To ensure the highest level of protection, Hikvision has launched a login procedure that requires users to create a new password for the
admin account upon the first login to all devices. The password must contain 8 to 16 characters, combining numbers, lowercase letters,
uppercase letters, and special characters. At least two types of the above-mentioned characters are required to activate the device. The
system will check the password strength; “Risky” passwords will not be accepted.

NOTE: DVRs/NVRs starting with the latest firmware (see chart, above) NO LONGER HAVE A DEFAULT PASSWORD. The
user must activate the NVR by creating a password for the admin account, which can be done in one of four ways:
• Local Activation
1. Power on the DVR/NVR.
˗ An activation message will appear on the screen prompting the user to activate the device (Figure 8).
˗ The username field will be greyed-out with the username set to admin.
2. Type in a password of your choosing (see Table 1, Password Strength Levels, page 32, for guidelines).
˗ The password strength will be displayed, accompanied by a color indicator:
1) Level 0– Risky (red indicator): Not acceptable
2) Level 1– Weak (red indicator): Acceptable
3) Level 2– Fair (orange indicator): Acceptable
4) Level 3– Strong (blue indicator): Acceptable
˗ Activation will not be allowed unless the password is of acceptable strength ( Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13).
3. Retype the password into the “Confirm Password” field.
