With Dahua’s advanced mobile app, you can easily monitor your security cameras from anywhere in the world. This blog will show you how to connect your Dahua security cameras to your mobile device for instant access.
Step 1: Download the Dahua App
The first step is to download the official Dahua mobile app, DMSS (Dahua Mobile Surveillance System), from your device’s app store. It’s available for both iOS and Android devices.
Step 2: Creating an Account
Open the app and create a new account if you haven’t already. This will allow you to securely connect and manage your Dahua devices remotely.
Step 3: Add Your Dahua Device
- For NVR/DVR System: Tap the “+” button on the app’s home screen. Choose “Manual Add” and enter your NVR/DVR’s IP address, username, and password.
- For IP Cameras: If you’re connecting an IP camera, use the QR code scan feature to scan the camera’s QR code. Alternatively, manually enter the IP address and login credentials.
Step 4: Configuring Remote Access
Once your device is connected, ensure that remote access settings are enabled. You may need to adjust the port forwarding settings on your router to ensure that you can view the feed from outside your local network.
Step 5: Live Monitoring
After connecting, you can view live footage directly from your mobile device. You can also access recorded videos, control PTZ cameras (if applicable), and adjust settings like motion detection and video quality.
Conclusion:
Connecting your Dahua security cameras to your smartphone offers the convenience of remote monitoring and management. Whether you’re at work or traveling, you’ll always have access to real-time footage, enhancing your property’s security.
