Upgrade considerations
======================

- ACS users:
	- only local user Administrator and users added via NvrManager will be restored, i.e. 	default local users (e.g., Guest) will not be preserved.
	- after an upgrade all users' passwords are set to "password" and must be updated.
 
 - An upgrade takes approximately 30 minutes (not 20 as is stated in the NVR Manager dialogue)
