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:
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.

2.3.3 Editing IP cameras connected to the PoE interfaces
(Only for DS-7600NI-SE/P and DS-7600NI-VP 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-SE/P and DS-7600NI-VP series NVR provides 4 PoE interfaces which can connect to 4 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-SE/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:
1. Enter the Camera Management interface.
Main menu> Camera> Camera
You can see the connected cameras are listed.
Page 34
User Manual of DS-7600NI Series NVR
34
Figure 2. 18 List of Connected Cameras
Note: The cameras connecting to the PoE interface cannot be deleted in this menu.
Click the Edit button.
Figure 2. 19 Edit IP Camera Interface
Note: Plug-and-Play means that the camera is connected to the PoE interface, so in this case, the parameters
of the camera can’t be edited. The IP address of the camera can only be edited in the Network Configuration
interface, see Chapter 9.1 Configuring General Settings for detailed information.
2.3.4 Editing IP cameras connected to the built-in switch
network interfaces (Only for DS-7600NI-SE/N series
NVR)
For DS-7600NI-SE/N series NVR, the extra network interfaces provide a built-in switch with plug-and-play
function.
Page 35
User Manual of DS-7600NI Series NVR
35
Example:
As for DS-7608NI-SE/N NVR, when you want to connect 2 online cameras and connect 6 network cameras via
built-in switch interfaces, you must disable 2 built-in switch interfaces in the Edit IP camera panel.
To add Cameras for NVR via built-in switch interfaces:
Before you start:
Connect the network cameras via the built-in switch interfaces.
Steps:
1. Enter the Camera Management interface.
Main menu> Camera> Camera
You can see the connected cameras are listed.
Figure 2. 20 List of Connected Cameras
Note: The cameras connecting to the built-in switch interface cannot be deleted in this menu.
2. Click the Edit button.
Figure 2. 21 Edit IP Camera Interface
Note: Plug-and-Play means that the camera is connected to the switch interface, so in this case, the

5.1 Configuring Encoding Parameters
Purpose:
By configuring the encoding parameters you can define the parameters which affect the image quality, such as the
transmission stream type, the resolution and so on.
Before you start:
1. Make sure that the HDD has already been installed. If not, please install a HDD and initialize it.
(Menu>HDD>General)
Figure 5. 1 HDD- General
2. Check the storage mode of the HDD
1) Click Advanced to check the storage mode of the HDD.
2) If the HDD mode is Quota, please set the maximum record capacity and maximum picture
capacity. For detailed information, see Chapter Configuring Quota Mode.
3) If the HDD mode is Group, you should set the HDD group. For detailed information, see
Chapter Configuring HDD Group for Recording.
Figure 5. 2 HDD- Advanced
Steps:
1. Enter the Record settings interface to configure the encoding parameters:
Menu>Record>Encoding
Figure 5. 3 Record Encoding
Page 55
User Manual of DS-7600NI Series NVR
55
2. Encoding 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 12.4.2 Setting HDD Property.
