    Warning:

    We highly recommend you to create a strong password of your own choosing (using a minimum of 8 characters, including at least three kinds of following categories: upper case letters, lower case letters, numbers, and special characters) in order to increase the security of your product. And we recommend you reset your password regularly, especially in the high security system, resetting the password monthly or weekly can better protect your product.

  2. Enter a password to activate network cameras that are connected to the device.
  3. Click OK.
    Note:

    After the device is activated, you should properly keep the password.
