Installing SwannView Plus or iVMS to your computer
We need to install the software in order to acquire the reset code and use that code to reset the password on your Swann DVR or NVR. The first step is to download the necessary software to your computer. Click the google drive link to download the latest version: SwannView Plus for Windows or iVMS-4200 (v2.5.1.7) for Mac. When installing the software, you only need to select the Client module. The Client module is what you use to access the recorder and display images and footage. Make sure your computer is connected to the same router or modem where the DVR is. Once everything is done, open (run) the SwannView Plus or iVMS.
Acquire your recorder’s MAC address
On the main menu of the SwannView Plus, go to Device Management. If you cannot see this page, click on Tool > Device Management at the top instead.
Click Show Online Devices.
Select your DVR/NVR by clicking at it once. Check the software version of the DVR/NVR.
If the unit has a firmware:
• Build 160801 or later: Take note of the MAC address and follow the next step.
• Build 160101 to above: MAC address first then follow the next step, if it fails Swann tech support line.
• Build before 160101: Cannot be reset, call Swann tech support line.
Reset the password
Go back to your DVR/NVR and pull up the login page again by accessing the Main Menu.
Type the MAC address you got from the software using lowercase, no dash, and no colons (for example: bc51fe810d61). Click on OK once you’re done. The Swann DVR/NVR will then reboot and display the Activation page.
You are then required to create a new password of your choice. Please take note of the MAC address you got in case you need to reset the password again; and of course your new password too. Click on ok once you’re done resetting your Swann DVR/NVR .
