Password: Enter a password. The password has to be a minimum of 6 char-

acters and can contain a mixture of numbers and letters.

Confirm Password: Enter your password again to confirm.

Enable Password: Each time you access the main menu, you will be prompt-

ed for your DVR’s password. Click the checkbox if you would like to disable or

enable this feature.

• Click “Next” to continue.

Create a Password 1

You can use the on-screen

keyboard to input text,

characters and numbers.

Please note, if “Enable Password” is disabled, your password is

still required when using the SwannView Link mobile app and

Windows software to access the DVR remotely (see SwannView

Link quick start guide for more information).

Welcome to the Set-

up 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 up and

working. Please be pa-

tient as it can take a

moment for the wizard

to appear after turning

on your DVR.

Language - Select a language you would like the system menu to be dis-

played in. In addition to the default English selection, both French and

Spanish languages are available.

Video Standard - Select the correct video standard for your country.

USA, Canada and some Latin American countries is NTSC. UK and Aus-

tralia is PAL.

Resolution - Select a resolution that is suitable for your display. 1920 x

1080 resolution will give you the best display quality.

Time Zone - Select a time zone relevant to your region.

Menu Date Format - Select a preferred display format.

Device Name - Give your DVR a relevant name.

UID & QR Code - This is a unique ID number for your DVR. You will use

this later when configuring the SwannView Link mobile app and Win-

dows software (see SwannView Link quick start guide for more infor-

mation).

• Click “Next” to continue.

General Configuration 2

Configure your Email 3

1. Populate each field as shown in the above screenshot (the emails

shown are examples only, don’t use these).

2. Click “Test” to verify that the information you’ve entered is correct

then click “OK”.

3. After a successful email test, click “Send UID” to receive an email

containing your DVR’s UID so you can use it to access from SwannView

Link on your mobile device or computer.

• Click “Next” to continue.

If you receive an error message, check that you have input your

email address and password correctly and check your cables and

connections.

You can configure an

email account so that

your DVR sends you

email alerts when

events occur. We rec-

ommend using Gmail.

To create an account

go to (www.gmail.com)

and then input the de-

tails here.

1. Click the “Sync” button to automatically synchronize your DVR’s in-

ternal clock with the time server instantly.

2. A message will appear on-screen stating sync time has been suc-

cessful. Click “OK” to continue.

• Click “Next” to continue.

If the DVR fails to sync with the time server, check your cables and

connections.

Internet Time 4

The NTP (Network

Time Protocol) func-

tion allows the DVR

to automatically sync

its clock with an In-

ternet Time Service.

This gives it the ability

to constantly have an

accurate time setting

and is the best method

to maintain accuracy.

If Daylight Savings does not apply to your locale, skip this step and click

“Finish” to complete the Setup Wizard.

1. Click the checkbox to enable. This allows you to configure your DVR

to automatically adjust its time for Daylight Savings in your time zone.

2. You can set when daylight saving time starts and ends, for example, 2

a.m. on the first Sunday of a particular month. Adjust accordingly.

• Click “Finish” to complete the Setup Wizard.

Daylight Savings 5

This allows you to con-

figure your DVR to au-

tomatically adjust its

time for Daylight Sav-

ings in your time zone.

You can set when day-

light saving time starts

and ends, for exam-

ple, 2 a.m. on the first

Sunday of a particular

month.

General Configuration

Confused on which location to install your cameras? The cameras included with your security system can be

installed in a number of different locations. Camera location can depend on the following -

1. Distance from the camera to the DVR.

2. Environmental conditions.

3. Lighting conditions.

4. The area that you would like to monitor.

When you position cameras correctly, you can eliminate the need for additional cameras to cover your target

area and maximise the efficiency of your security system. On the flip side, if you position cameras incorrectly,

it can lead to blind spots or to have objects that are not visible or too far for the cameras to view in detail. Keep

these points in mind to get the most out of your security system.

Mount cameras at an elevated position - Mounting your cameras at an elevated position, can keep your cam-

eras out of range of vandals or would be burglars. It also allows your camera to have a high vantage point in-

creasing its viewing area.

Cover your target area - When placing cameras, make sure you provide ample coverage, but not in excess.

For example, if you are trying to cover a backyard gate, don’t zoom in to only have the gate in frame. Position

the camera to cover part of your backyard so you capture as much area as possible without sacrificing video

quality.
