Perform the following steps to add the IP camera to the NVR via the PoE or the built-in switch interface.
The DS-7600NI-SN/P and DS-7100NI-SN/P series NVR provide the PoE interfaces which enable the NVR system
to pass electrical power safely, along with data, on Ethernet cabling to the connected IP cameras. And the
DS-7600NI-SN/N and DS-7100NI-SN/N support the built-in switch interfaces.
In order to simplify the description, we define the “the PoE interfaces and the built-in switch interfaces” as
“the extra network interfaces”.
The adding method of the extra network interfaces are the same, while the only different function between
PoE interface and built-in switch interface is the former one provides the power supply to the IP camera and
the other one doesn’t.
Please pay attention to the maximize power supply of PoE interfaces; refer to the specification of the
corresponding models for the details.
The NVR provide up to 8 extra network interfaces which can connect to 8 network cameras directly; and if you
disable one, you can also connect to the online network cameras. And the extra network interface supports the
Plug-and-Play function.
Example:
As for 7604NI-SN/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.
Before you start:
Connect the network cameras via the extra interfaces.
Steps:
1.
Enter the Camera Management interface.
Menu> Camera> Camera
You can see the connected cameras are listed.
Figure 2. 24 Camera List
The cameras connecting to the PoE interface cannot be deleted in this menu.
2. Click the button, and select the Adding Method in the drop-down list.
• Plug-and-Play: It means that the camera is connected to the PoE interface, so in this case, the
parameters of the camera cannot be edited. And the IP address of the connected camera is configured
automatically according to the pre-defined interval NIC IPv4 address, see Chapter 9.1 Configuring
General Settings for detailed information.
