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.

2.3.3 Editing IP Cameras Connected to the PoE Interfaces

This chapter is only applicable for DS-7600/7700NI-SP 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-7600/7700NI-SP series NVR provides up to 16 PoE interfaces which can connect to 16 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 7608/7708NI-SP 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.

To add Cameras for NVR supporting PoE function:

Before you start:

Connect the network cameras via the PoE interfaces.

Steps:

Chapter 3 Live View

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 upper-right 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.

Table 3.1 Description of Live View Icons

Icons	Description
	Alarm (video loss, video tampering, motion detection or sensor alarm)
	Record (manual record, schedule record, motion detection or alarm triggered record)
	Alarm & Record
	Event/Exception (motion detection, sensor alarm or exception information, appears at the lower-left corner of the screen. Please refer to Chapter 8.7 Setting Alarm Response Actions for details.)

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: continuous record and motion detection record are supported.

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

- Add IP Camera: the shortcut to the IP camera management interface.

- 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

	HDMI	VGA	CVBS	Main output	Auxiliary output
1				HDMI	VGA
2		×		HDMI	CVBS
3	×			VGA	CVBS
4	×	×		CVBS

- 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.

For DS-7600NI-ST/SP, 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.

Chapter 10 RAID (Only for DS-9600NI-RT series NVR)

This chapter is applicable for DS-9600NI-RT series only.

10.1 Configuring Array and Virtual Disk

Purpose:

RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit. A RAID setup stores data over multiple hard disk drives to provide enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required. The DS-9600NI-RT is capable of realizing Redundant Array of Independent Disk, supporting RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID10.

Before you start:

Please install the HDD(s) properly and it is recommended to use the same enterprise-level HDDs (including model and capacity) for array creation and configuration so as to maintain reliable and stable running of the disks.

Introduction:

The DS-9600NI-RT series can store the data (such as record, picture, log information) in the HDD only after you have created the virtual disk or you have configured network HDD (refer to Chapter12.2 Managing Network HDD). Our device provides two ways for creating the virtual disk, including one-touch configuration and manual configuration. The following flow chart shows the process of creating virtual disk.

Chapter 11 RAID (Only for DS-9600NI-ST&XT and DS-8600NI-ST series NVR)

11.1 Configuring Array

Purpose:

RAID (redundant array of independent disks) is a storage technology that combines multiple disk drive components into a logical unit. A RAID setup stores data over multiple hard disk drives to provide enough redundancy so that data can be recovered if one disk fails. Data is distributed across the drives in one of several ways called "RAID levels", depending on what level of redundancy and performance is required. The DS-9600NI-ST&XT and DS-8600NI-ST series NVR support the disk array which is realized by the software, and RAID0, RAID1, RAID5 and RAID 10 are supported. You can enable the RAID function on your demand.

Before you start:

Please install the HDD(s) properly and it is recommended to use the same enterprise-level HDDs (including model and capacity) for array creation and configuration so as to maintain reliable and stable running of the disks.

Introduction:

The DS-9600NI-ST&XT and DS-8600NI-ST series can store the data (such as record, picture, log information) in the HDD only after you have created the array or you have configured network HDD (refer to Chapter12.2

Managing Network HDD). Our device provides two ways for creating array, including one-touch configuration and manual configuration. The following flow chart shows the process of creating array.
