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:

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.

User Manual of DS-9600/8600/7700/7600 Series NVR

Figure 2. 15 Protocol Management Interface

There are 10 customized protocols provided in the system, you can edit the protocol name; and choose whether to enable the sub-stream.

2. Choose the protocol type of transmission and choose the transfer protocols.

Note: The protocol type and the transfer protocols must be supported by the connected network

camera. After adding the customized protocols, you can see the protocol name is listed in the dropdown list, please refer to Figure 2. 16.

Figure 2. 16 Protocol Setting

3. Choose the protocols you just added to validate the connection of the network camera.

2.3.3 Editing IP cameras connected to the PoE interfaces

(Only for LTN7732-P8, LTN7604-P4, LTN7608-P4 and LTN7608-P8 series NVR)

The PoE interfaces enables the NVR system to pass electrical power safely, along with data, on

User Manual of DS-9600/8600/7700/7600 Series NVR

Ethernet cabling to the connected network cameras. The LTN7608-P8 and LTN7632-P8 series NVR provides 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 LTN7732-P8 NVR, when you want to connect 2 online cameras and connect 6 network cameras via PoE interfaces, you must disable 2 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.

Figure 2. 17 List of Connected Cameras

Note: The cameras connecting to the PoE interface cannot be deleted in this menu.

Click the Edit button.

Figure 2. 18 Edit IP Camera Interface

Note: Plug-and-Play means that the camera is connected to the PoE interface, so in this case,

User Manual of DS-9600/8600/7700/7600 Series NVR

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.

3.1 Introduction of Live View

Live view shows you the video image getting from each camera in real time. The NVR automatically enters Live View mode when powered on. It is also at the very top of the menu hierarchy, thus pressing the ESC many times (depending on which menu you’re on) brings you to the Live View mode.

Live View Icons

In the live view mode, there are icons at the right top of the screen for each channel, showing the status of the record and alarm in the channel, so that you can know whether the channel is recorded, or whether there are alarms occur as soon as possible.

3.2 Operations in Live View Mode

In live view mode, there are many functions provided. The functions are listed below.

• Single Screen: showing only one screen on the monitor.

• Multi-screen: showing multiple screens on the monitor simultaneously.

• Auto-switch: the screen is auto switched to the next one. And you must set the dwell time for

each screen on the configuration menu before enabling the auto-switch. Menu>Configuration>Live View>Dwell Time.

• Start Recording: normal record and motion detection record are supported.

• Output Mode: select the output mode to Standard, Bright, Gentle or Vivid.

• All-day Playback: playback the recorded videos for current day.

• Aux/Main output switch: the NVR checks the connection of the output interfaces to define

the main and auxiliary output interfaces. The priority level for the main and aux output is HDMI>VGA>CVBS. This means if the HDMI is used, it will be the main output. If the HDMI is not used, the VGA output will be the main output. See the table below.

Table 3. 2 Priorities of Interfaces

 √ means the interface is in use, × means the interface is out of use or the connection is invalid.

And the HDMI, VGA and CVBScan be used at the same time.

When the aux output is enabled, the main output can’t do any operation, and you can do some basic operation on the live view mode for the Aux output.

Notes:

1. For LTN7616, there is only one audio output, the VGA output has a higher priority over

CVBS output. When you enable the audio in both the CVBS and VGA audio output, the audio from the audio out interface is for VGA.

2. For LTN7604-P4, LTN7608-P4 and LTN7608-P8, VGA and HDMI output are only

supported.

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 and Capture.

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

User Manual of DS-9600/8600/7700/7600 Series NVR

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/ Capture: Enabling redundant record or capture means you

save the record and captured picture in the redundant HDD. See Chapter Configuring Redundant Recording and Capture.

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

2) Click Apply to save the settings.

Note: The redundant record/capture is to decide whether you want the camera to save the

record files or captured pictures in the redundant HDD. You must configure the redundant HDD in HDD settings. For detailed information, see Chapter 12.4.2 Setting HDD Property.
