16 TruVision DVR 11 and DVR 11c User Manual
Using the setup wizard
Both TVR 11 and TVR11c have an express installation wizard that lets you easily
configure basic DVR settings when first used. It configures all cameras
simultaneously. The configuration can then be customized as required.
By default the setup wizard will start once the DVR has loaded. It will walk you
through some of the more important settings of your DVR.
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 DVR with default settings only, click Next in each
screen until the end.
To quickly set up the DVR:
1. Connect all the devices required to the back panel of the DVR. See Figure 1
on page 5.
2. Turn on the unit using the power switch on the front panel. After the boot up
screen, the DVR displays video images on screen.
3. Select the preferred language for the system from the dropdown list and then
click Next.
4. Enable or disable the option to start the wizard automatically when the DVR is
turned on. Click Next.
5. Administrator configuration:
Navigate to the Admin Password edit box and click the edit box with the
mouse, or press Enter on the front panel or remote control, to display the
virtual keyboard. Enter the default admin password, 1234.
Note: You must enter an admin password. To change the Admin password,
check New Admin password and enter the new password and confirm it.
Caution: It is strongly recommended that you change the password of the
administrator. Do not leave 1234 as the default password. Write it down in a
safe place so that you do not forget it.
If you should forget the password to your DVR, contact your supplier with the
serial number of your DVR to obtain a secure code to reset it.
Click Next.
6. Time and date configuration:
Select the desired time zone, date format, system time, and system date.
Note: Daylight savings time (DST) cannot be configured from the Wizard. See
“Configuring time and date” on page 67 for more information on DST.
