Troubleshooting Remote Control:

Note: 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:

User Manual of DS-7600NI Series NVR

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:

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.

2. Parameters Setting for Recording

1) Select Record tab page to configure. You can configure the stream type, the resolution, and other

parameters on your demand.

• Pre-record: The time you set to record before the scheduled time or event. For example, when an

alarm triggered the recording at 10:00, if you set the pre-record time as 5 seconds, the camera records it at 9:59:55.

• Post-record: The time you set to record after the event or the scheduled time. For example, when

an alarm triggered the recording ends at 11:00, if you set the post-record time as 5 seconds, it records till 11:00:05.

• Expired Time: The expired time is the longest time for a record file to be kept in the HDD, if the

deadline is reached, the file will be deleted. You can set the expired time to 0, and then the file will not be deleted. The actual keeping time for the file should be determined by the capacity of the HDD.

• Redundant Record: Enabling redundant record means you save the record in the redundant HDD.

See Chapter Configuring Redundant Recording.

• Record Audio: Check the checkbox to enable or disable audio recording.

2) Click Apply to save the settings.

Note: The redundant record is to decide whether you want the camera to save the record files in the

redundant HDD. You must configure the redundant HDD in HDD settings. For detailed information, see Chapter 10.3.2 Setting HDD Property.
