First-time use
The TVR 42 has 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. The wizard
walks you through some of the more
important settings of your DVR. Select
the preferred language for the system
and then enter the administrator
password. The default admin password
is 1234. It is strongly recommended that
this password is changed.
The wizard will then guide you through
the menus to set the time and date,
network configuration, HDD
management, and recording
configuration.
When all the required changes have
been entered, click
Finish to exit the
wizard. The TVR 42 is now ready to use.
Recording starts automatically.
