2.3.4 Editing IP Cameras Connected to the PoE Interfaces
This chapter is only applicable for the following models: DS-7600NI-I2/P, DS-7700NI-I4/P,
DS-7600NI-K2/P, DS-7700NI-K4/P and DS-7600NI-K1/4P 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.
Up to 4 network cameras can be connected to /4P models, 8 network cameras to /8 P models, and
16 network cameras to /16P models. 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:
For DS-7608NI-I2/8P, if you want to connect 6 network cameras via PoE interfaces and 2 online
cameras, you must disable 2 PoE interfaces in the Edit IP Camera menu.
