STRONG PASSWORD RECOMMENDED 
– We highly recommend that you create a strong password of your 
own choosing (using a minimum of eight characters, including at least three of the following 
categories: 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.

IP Camera Activation 
text field, enter the password to activate the IP camera (s) 
connected to the device.

 Click 
OK 
to save the password and activate the device.

the device starts up. You can click
