Digital Video Recorder

Quick Start Guide

Welcome to the Setup Wizard! The Setup Wizard

automatically runs the first time you start your DVR and will

guide you through all the important settings you need to get

your DVR up and working. Please be patient as it can take a

moment for the wizard to appear after turning on your DVR.

Choose the language you want the menu system to be displayed in, and then click Apply to

continue.

Choose your Language

Uncheck the Start wizard when device starts? option. Once you have completed the Setup Wizard,

you do not require it to run again the next time you start your DVR. If you want to re-launch the

Setup Wizard in the future you can always do so by selecting the Enable Wizard checkbox in the

the Configuration menu screen, and then rebooting the DVR.

Click Next to continue.

Turn off Setup Wizard

We recommend changing the DVR’s default password of 12345 to a new password.

To do so, select the New Admin Password box, enter 12345 into the Admin Password field, and

then enter your new password into the New Password and Confirm fields.

Click Next to continue.

Set New Password

Set Date & Time

It’s important that your DVR has the correct time and date, as well as the correct time zone to ensure recorded

events are properly time stamped and schedules are triggered at the right time. Click Next to continue.

Time Zone: Select the time zone that you’re in.

Date Format: Select the preferred date format.

System Date: Set the current date.

System Time: Set the current time.

Live View Mode: Select the number of channel

screens to display from a variety of formats when

the DVR is in Live View mode.

Resolution: Select the maximum resolution for the

display that you have connected to the DVR

Configure Daylight Saving Time (DST)

You can configure your DVR to automatically adjust its time for Daylight Savings in your time

zone. You can set when daylight saving time starts and ends, for example - 2 a.m. on the first

Sunday of a particular month. Enable the Enable DST checkbox and adjust accordingly. If

Daylight Savings is not observed in your region, leave the Enable DST checkbox unchecked.

The Enable NTP option is checked by default. It’s the best way for your DVR to automatically

update and maintain accurate time by syncing its clock with an Internet Time Service.

Click Next to continue.

Configure Email Details

Ensure the email address where you want to receive email alerts is entered in the Receiver’s

Address box. Click Test to verify that the details entered are correct. After you’ve finished testing

your email, click Send UID to receive an email containing your DVR’s UID. The UID can be used to

access your DVR with SwannView Plus on your PC or mobile device.

Click OK to save the settings and complete the Wizard. Shortly, all of your connected cameras will

appear on your DVR Live View screen.

Sender’s email, eg. “yourDVR@gmail.com”

Sender’s name. For example, “John’s DVR”

The Email address, eg. “yourDVR@gmail.com”

Recipient’s name. For example, your name

Recipient’s email, eg. my@emailaddress.com

You can configure your email account

details so that the DVR can send you

email alerts when events occur. We

recommend using Gmail because it

works well with your DVR and it’s free!

If you don’t have a Gmail address, go

to www.gmail.com to create one and

then enter the various details here.
