Add a User

You can add users to the Viewer and place them in the administrator group or the general user group.

About User Groups

The Viewer provides the following two user groups, each with different user permissions.

• Administrator - Users in this group can fully operate the Viewer.

• Operator - Users in this group have limited access to the features of the Viewer. They cannot configure a camera or set a recording schedule.

You can specify the group to which the added user belongs by selecting from [User Group].

You can create a new user group and specify permissions for users that belong to the group.

Important

• A default user called “administrator” is created in the Administrator user group. The password for this user is “NVR”. We recommend that you change the password for this user after installation. We strongly recommend that, for normal surveillance operation, you create individual users with access permissions for only the minimum required functionality.

• Be sure to remember your password.

• You cannot add user groups

Note

Administrator for this software program does not refer to the Windows administrator.
