I plan to buy DS-7616NI-K2 NVR to connect my 10 cameras. I plan to set it up in a basement of the house without connecting a monitor. I will just connect NVR to local network with Ethernet cable.

1) Is it possible to set up and manage this NVR and view recordings completely remotely? What software is used for this?
2) If there is a drop in electricity will this NVR switch on automatically when electricity is back?
 
I have a 7608NI-E2 and I think you would need a monitor/mouse to do the initial setup to configure the password and perhaps the IP if you want it at a fixed IP. After that you can manage it over the network via iVMS or IE browser so that you can view feeds, configure cameras etc.

As far as power loss, mine does power back up by itself, though it is on a UPS so rarely gets affected unless its an extended outage (2+ hours) and the UPS has to shut itself down. Had a power blip earlier this evening and the UPS's kept everything running just fine, same during a couple mins outage a few weeks back.

No monitor is needed for the initial setup.
The device can be 'Activated' (ie the user password created) and the IP address set either by SADP, or if the default IP address is in the same range as the PC, by the PC browser.
The NVR can be successfully managed 'headless' over the network using the IE11 browser on the PC.
There are very few facilities available via the VGA/HDMI interface that are not available via the web GUI, or for configuration via the Batch Configuration Tool.

handy to know, thanks Alistair. Never used SADP myself so hadn't realised you could do that, but then my CCTV is on a separate restricted LAN to my main systems with routed access to the NVR from the primary LAN, so when I configured I just set up the IP with a screen attached and then remote managed it since.
 
CCTV lan is isolated from all others, no route out exc for NTP sync, so yeah SADP doesn't find anything from the other LANs. Only routing is from main user LAN to the NVR & DVR to monitor etc. Done that way so the external connections don't give anyone the opportunity to attack my main systems/servers or freeload off my ISP connection and isolate the CCTV gear from exposing their vulnerabilities, calling home, spawn bots/viruses etc ;-)

I could always add a route from the NVR to my mail gateway if I really wanted that, but the home alarm system lets me know if there's any specific intrusion that I want to go look at so not really a need I have right now.
