If you’re logging into a Uniview NVR or camera for the first time, you’ll need to enter the default username and password. The login credentials for new Uniview devices are as follows:
- Username – admin
- Password – 123456
After logging into the device, you will be asked to enter a new password. This used to be optional but became a requirement on newer firmware versions sometime in 2021.
Uniview Password Requirements
You must create a new password for your NVR or camera after logging into it for the first time. Not only do you need to come up with a password, but it must follow these specific requirements:
- 9 to 32 characters
- At least one number, letter, and special character such as ! or $
You can also add your email address to the device. If you forget your password in the future, you can send a reset code to your email address so you can easily reset the password.
How to Reset the Password a Uniview Camera or NVR
There are three ways to reset the password on your Uniview device – but only two of the methods work on the NVR.
- Push the reset button on your camera for 15 seconds, within 10 minutes of powering on the device (only supported models)
- Use the EZView or UNV-Link app to send a reset code to your email address
- Contact your local Uniview Distributor for technical support (they can send a reset code)
