Troubleshooting Remote Control:

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 > Settings > General > More Settings by operating the front control panel or the mouse.

2. Check and remember NVR ID#. The default ID# is 255. This ID# is valid for all the IR remote controls.

3. Press the DEV button on the remote control.

4. Enter the NVR ID# you set in step 2.

5. Press the ENTER button on the remote.

If the Status indicator on the front panel turns blue, the remote control is operating properly. If the Status indicator does not turn blue and there is still no response from the remote, please check the following:

• Batteries are installed correctly and the polarities of the batteries are not reversed.

• Batteries are fresh and not out of charge.

• IR receiver is not obstructed.

If the remote still cannot function properly, please change a remote and try again, or contact the device provider.

2.3.3 Editing IP Cameras Connected to the PoE Interfaces

This chapter is only applicable to the DS-7600NI-SN/P and DS-7100NI-SN/P series NVR.

The PoE interfaces enables the NVR system to pass electrical power safely, along with data, on Ethernet cabling to the connected network cameras. The DS-7600NI-SN/P and DS-7100NI-SN/P series NVR provide up to 8 PoE interfaces which can connect to 8 network cameras directly; and if you disable the PoE interface, you can also connect to the online network cameras. And the PoE interface supports the Plug-and-Play function.

Example:

As for 7604NI-SN/P NVR, when you want to connect 1 online camera and connect 3 network cameras via PoE interfaces, you must disable 1 PoE interface in the Edit IP camera panel.

To add cameras for NVR supporting PoE function:

Before you start:

Connect the network cameras via the PoE interfaces.

Steps:
