During set-up, the user can choose a password, a pattern, and a security question, we strongly suggest doing all 3.
They are also asked for their email, it is not mandatory, but we strongly recommend providing one for a reset if required.
Does the XVR have built in Wi-Fi?
No, you have to connect directly to the router using an Ethernet cable. You can use Wi-Fi extenders with an embedded Ethernet port to get an access point closer to your XVR.
