Default Password Information
To ensure your privacy, this DVR supports password protection.
The default, all-access username is “admin”. If the DVR asks you to log in before you’ve set a password, enter
admin as your username and leave the password blank. This will give you access to all areas of the DVR.
The password function is disabled by default. However, if you’re asked for a password, the default is “12345”.
To ensure your ongoing privacy, we strongly recommend setting a password as soon as possible. Choose
something that you’ll remember, but that others would be unlikely to guess.
If you do manage to lock yourself out of the DVR, you’ll need to contact us at the Swann Technical Support
Telephone Helpdesk - the number is on the back cover.
