2. To add a new account or recorder select the “+ ADD NEW ACCOUNT”.
3. In the registration page, complete the Account Name, Address and first user account options.
   • The email address for the first user is important since an invitation will be sent to this person to register their account as an administrator. They will need to follow the directions in the email to complete registration. Within the account they will be able to register new users, NVRs or create sub channel partners.
4. Once the fields are completed scroll to the bottom of the page and click “CREATE ACCOUNT”.
5. The new administrative user will receive an email titled: Arecont Vision ConteraWS Account Invitation. Click the “Accept Invitation” link to complete the registration and set up of their account before it can be used.
6. They will be directed to the web services page and prompted to set their password, confirming their age and accepting the terms of use policy. Once they click “SAVE” they will be able to log into arecontvision-ws.com and manage their new channel partner account.
7. When the new user logs into the account they will be able to do the same within their account you have just created. As accounts are created each is assigned a “Recorder Registration Code” this will be needed to connect Contera recorders to the web services account and should be noted for set up. Each customer account will have it’s own unique registration code and any recorders registered with that code will appear inside that account.
8. To set up users within an account click the gear icon in the top right and select “Users”.
    
9. Select “+ADD NEW USER”.
