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:

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.

1.3 USB Mouse Operation

A regular 3-button (Left/Right/Scroll-wheel) USB mouse can also be used with this NVR. To use a USB mouse:

1. Plug USB mouse into one of the USB interfaces on the front panel of the NVR.
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 the device list from your provider.

2.5.4 Editing IP Cameras Connected to the PoE or the Built-in Switch Interfaces

● This section is applicable to DS-7600NI-SE/N(P) models only.
- As the adding camera steps for the built-in switch are the same with the ones for the PoE interfaces, we take the instruction of connecting to the network cameras via the PoE interface as an example.

The PoE interfaces enable the NVR system to pass electrical power safely, along with data, on Ethernet cabling to the connected network cameras.

For the NVR which supports the PoE function, it can connect to the network cameras directly via the PoE interfaces. And if you disable the PoE interface, you can also connect to the online network cameras.

Example:

As for DS-7608NI-SE/P NVR, when you want to connect 2 online cameras and connect 6 network cameras via PoE interfaces, you must disable 2 PoE interfaces in the Edit IP Camera menu.

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.
