MANAGING PASSWORDS
When you first startup your system, you are technically logged in as the ADMIN under Device ID
000000. The system employs two user authorities connected to a
Device ID . The authorities are as
follows:
• ADMIN—administrator: Has full control of the system, and can change both administrator and user
passwords and enable/disable password checking
• 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 6-digit USER password
and a 6-digit ADMIN password.
