Managing Passwords
When you first startup your system, you are technically logged in as the ADMIN (system
administrator) account. The system supports the following account types:
• ADMIN—sys
tem administrator: has full control of the system, and can change both
administrator and user passwords and enable/disable password protection.
• USER—normal user: only has access to live viewing, search, playb
ack, and other functions.
You may set up multiple USER accounts with varying levels of access to the system.
For security reasons, it is highly recommended to enable passwords on your system. If you
enable passwords, y
ou must select a 6-digit ADMIN password. By default, the system
password is disabled.

To enable the admin password:
