You can configure your email account details so that the NVR can send you email alerts when events occur. We
recommend using Gmail because it works well with your NVR and it’s free! If you don’t have a Gmail address,
go to www.gmail.com to create one and then enter the various details here.
Ensure the email address where you want to receive email alerts is entered in the Receiver’s Address box.
Click Test to verify that the details entered are correct. After you’ve tested your email works, click Send UID to
receive an email containing your NVR’s UID. You can use the UID for access from SwannView Plus on your PC
or mobile device. Click OK to save the settings and complete the Wizard.
Shortly, all of your connected cameras will appear on your NVR Live View screen.
We recommend changing the NVR’s default password of 12345 to a new password.
Welcome to the Setup Wizard! The Setup Wizard
automatically runs the first time you start your NVR and will
guide you through all the important settings you need to get
your NVR up and working. Please be patient as it can take a
moment for the wizard to appear after turning on your NVR.
To do so, select the New Admin Password box, enter 12345 into the Admin Password field, and
then enter your new password into the New Password and Confirm fields.
Click Next to continue.

You can configure your NVR to automatically adjust its time for Daylight Savings in your time zone.
You can set when daylight saving time starts and ends, for example - 2 a.m. on the first Sunday of a
particular month. Enable the Enable DST checkbox and adjust accordingly. If Daylight Savings is not
observed in your region, leave the Enable DST checkbox unchecked.
Uncheck the Start wizard when device starts? option. Once you have completed the Setup Wizard,
you do not require it to run again the next time you start your NVR. If you want to re-launch the
Setup Wizard in the future you can always do so by selecting the Enable Wizard checkbox in the
the Configuration menu screen, and then rebooting the NVR.
