STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED–We highly recommend that you create a strong
password of your own choosing (using a minimum of eight characters, including upper
case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase
the security of your product. We also recommend that you reset your password
regularly. Especially in high security systems, resetting the password monthly or weekly
can better protect your product.
NOTE: You can enable the Hik-Connect service for the device during activation. Refer to
Chapter 5 for detailed information.
4. Click Activate to start activation.
NOTE: You can check whether the activation is complete on the pop-up window. If
activation fails, make sure that the password meets the requirement and try again.
