The startup wizard
The recorder has an express installation wizard that lets you easily configure basic recorder
settings when first used. It configures all cameras to default settings. The configuration of each
camera and recorder can be customized as required.
By default the startup wizard will start once the recorder has loaded. It will walk you through
some of the more important settings of your recorder.
Any changes you make to a setup configuration page are saved when you exit the page and
return to the main wizard page.
Note: If you want to set up the recorder with default settings only, click Next in each screen
until the end.
To use the Startup wizard:
1. To launch the startup wizard without rebooting the device, go to Menu > Device
Management > General Settings and click ‘Start wizard’.

click Next.
3. Enable or disable the option to start the wizard automatically when the recorder is turned
on. Click Next.
