Remote Control Troubleshooting:
Make sure you have installed batteries properly in the remote control. And you have to aim the remote control at the IR
receiver in the front panel.
If there is no response after you press any button on the remote, follow the procedure below to troubleshoot.
Steps:
1. Go to Menu > Other Settings > Display > Advance Setting by operating the mouse.
2. Check and remember device ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote controls.
3. Press the DEV key on the remote control.
4. Enter the device ID# in step 2.
5. Press the ENTER button on the remote.
If there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:
1. Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.
2. Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.
3. IR receiver is not obstructed.
If the remote still can’t function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the device provider.
1.4 USB Mouse Operations
A regular 3-button (Left/Right/Scroll-wheel) USB mouse can also be used with this device. To use a USB mouse:
1. Plug USB mouse into one of the USB interfaces on the front panel of the device.
2. The mouse should automatically be detected. If in a rare case that the mouse is not detected, the possible reason may be
that the two devices are not compatible, please refer to the recommended device list from your provider.

1.5 Starting Up and Shutting Down the Device
Two working modes are available for the mobile NVR. The connection of power cables and control interfaces varies from
the device working mode.
Vehicle ignition startup and time-delay shutdown
The mobile NVR starts up when the vehicle ignites and shuts down according to the pre-defined delay time after the vehicle
is off. The startup and shutdown of the device depend on the vehicle ignition signal.
Timing on/off
The mobile NVR starts up or shuts down automatically according to the pre-defined time and the device works separately
from the running status of the vehicle.
1.5.1 Vehicle Ignition Startup and Time-delay Shutdown
The vehicle ignition startup and time-delay shutdown are realized by the vehicle ignition switch, which includes positive
pole ignition switch (providing high level signal when the switch closes) and negative pole ignition switch (providing low
level signal when the switch closes). The wire connection of the device varies from different vehicle ignition switch.
For detailed time settings of time-delay shutdown, see Chapter 7.1.
Please contact the vehicle manufacturer for the connection information of starting switch.
The vehicle ignition switch, also called car key, controls the startup and shutdown of the vehicle. Most of the cars
adopts positive pole ignition switch currently.
15
Mobile Network Video Recorder User Manual
Positive pole ignition switch
Figure 1. 4 Connection of Positive Pole Ignition Switch
Ignition switch is connected to the positive pole of DC+12/24V of vehicle batteries. Please make sure that the connection is
correct, and then perform the following steps:
Steps:
1. Connect the “DC IN +” of mobile NVR to the positive pole of vehicle batteries, jumping over the switch of normal
vehicle power.
2. Connect the “DC IN -” and “KEY -” of mobile NVR to the negative pole of vehicle batteries.
3. Connect the “KEY +” of mobile NVR to the vehicle ignition switch.
The normal vehicle power refers to the main power of the vehicle power supply system. After the vehicle is off, the
normal vehicle power still provides direct-current source for the other devices inside and generally a main switch is
used to turn on/off it.
Negative pole ignition switch
Figure 1. 5 Connection of Negative Pole Ignition Switch
Ignition switch is connected to the negative pole of DC+12/24V of vehicle batteries. Please make sure that the connection is
16
Mobile Network Video Recorder User Manual
correct, and then perform the following steps:
Steps:
1. Connect the “DC IN +” and “KEY +” of mobile NVR to the positive pole of vehicle batteries, jumping over the switch
of normal vehicle power.
2. Connect the “DC IN -” to the negative pole of vehicle batteries.
3. Connect the “KEY -” of mobile NVR to the vehicle ignition switch.
1.5.2 Timing On/Off
Figure 1. 6 Timing On/Off
Steps:
1. Connect the “DC IN +” and “KEY +” of mobile NVR to the positive pole of vehicle batteries.
2. Connect the “DC IN -” and “KEY -” of mobile NVR to the negative pole of vehicle batteries.
For detailed time settings of time-delay shutdown, see Chapter 7.1.
1.6 Alarm Input / Output Connection
1.6.1 Alarm Input Connection
DS-M5504HNI series mobile NVR adopts the high/low-level electrical signals triggering (high level: 6 to 36 VDC; low
level: 0 to 5 VDC) to realize alarm input. And in order to avoid error report caused by voltage fluctuation, no alarm will be
triggered by voltage ranging of 5 to 6VDC.
