How to Set Up Dahua Surveillance Remote Control107

Dahua surveillance cameras offer remote control capabilities, allowing you to access and manage your security system from anywhere with an internet connection. This guide will provide step-by-step instructions on how to set up Dahua surveillance remote control:

Prerequisites* Dahua surveillance camera
* Network with internet access
* PC or mobile device with web browser
* Default camera username and password (usually "admin" and "password" or "admin" and blank)

Setting Up Remote Control

1. Access Camera Web Interface

* Connect the camera to your network and power it on.
* Open a web browser on your PC or mobile device.
* Enter the camera's IP address in the address bar. The IP address can be found on the camera's label or by using a network scanner.
* Enter the default username and password to log in.

2. Configure Network Settings

* Navigate to "Network" -> "Basic Configuration" in the camera's web interface.
* Ensure that the camera is connected to the network and has an internet connection.
* Check the "Enable HTTP" checkbox.

3. Create a DDNS Account

* To access your camera remotely, you need to create a DDNS account. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a static domain name for your camera, which is easier to remember and use than its IP address.
* Navigate to "Network" -> "DDNS" in the camera's web interface.
* Select a DDNS provider from the drop-down menu and click "Create."
* Enter the DDNS hostname, which should be a memorable name for your camera.
* Enter your DDNS credentials and click "Save."

4. Configure Remote Access

* Navigate to "Network" -> "Remote Configuration" in the camera's web interface.
* Check the "Enable Remote Access" checkbox.
* Select the protocol you wish to use for remote access (e.g., RTSP, HTTP, HTTPS).
* Enter the port number for the selected protocol.
* Click "Save."

5. Create a User Account

* To access your camera remotely, you need to create a user account with appropriate permissions.
* Navigate to "User" -> "User Management" in the camera's web interface.
* Click "Add" and create a new user account.
* Assign the appropriate permissions to the account, such as "Remote" and "Device Configuration."
* Click "Save."

6. Access Camera Remotely

* Once you have configured remote access, you can access your camera from anywhere with an internet connection.
* Open a web browser on your PC or mobile device.
* Enter the camera's DDNS hostname or IP address in the address bar.
* Enter the remote access username and password.
* You will now have access to the camera's live video feed and other functions.

Additional Tips* Use a strong username and password for remote access.
* Change the default camera password to enhance security.
* Use HTTPS for secure remote access.
* Consider using a VPN (Virtual Private Network) for additional encryption and security.
* Regularly update the camera's firmware to ensure optimal performance and security.
