LOGGING ON
AUTOLOGIN
Each time you start the DVR5100, the system automatically begins a 60-second counter. This feature allows the system to automatically log on
the designated user each time the DVR is rebooted (for example, after a power failure or when the unit is restarted for any reason). An
administrator can enable or disable the autologin feature from the General System setup screen. In addition, the user account and the timing can
be changed for subsequent autologins. Once the time counts down to zero, the designated user is logged on. To interrupt the autologin process or
log on as a different user, follow the steps below. The default user is “admin.”
