...support discontinued. It is an attack surface that's been tested more thoroughly, but there can still be issues.
Using the cam mfg's P2P / easy4IP nat traversal service is better than port forwarding, but not great.
Running your own service like tail scale, zero tier, or ngrok is better...
...this as one of the oldest models (16mb ROM). It’s a Dahua outdoor PTZ dome.
I managed to link this camera to the Imou app through the Easy4Ip option (also known as P2P I’m told). When adding a camera the app has a separate category called ‘IPC Others’. It recognized the camera as a PTZ...

...to reuse 2 old (but gold) dahua cameras (IPC-HFW5431R-Z) but I encountered an issue with the P2P feature.
On this old model, P2P is called "Easy4ip". The camera status is OK (online) but with smartpss (mac) and Dmss app (android and ios) the P2P doesn't work .
So I tried an old version of...
It's likely the cameras have a P2P type NAT Traversal enabled, I think Hikvison calls it EasyIP or Easy4IP. Unplug your modem and router temporarily, reset the cameras, and disable that.
There's also a slight chance that a computer or device on your network (possibly even your router) is...
...of "DH_SD-Zi-Themis_Eng_P_Stream3_P2P_IVS_V2.400.0001.0.T.20170209.bin" from IPCamer.
It works flawless on my SD22204T-GN (16Mb) . It also gave me back the ability to connect the camera to the Imou Life app. IPCamer points out that in this version of the firmware P2P was still called Easy4ip.
To make a summarization of the confusion that is created by Dahau to use the same type number DH-SD22204T-GN for units that have different hardware revision, in this case the size of eeproms to store the firmware.
As mention by @Dave Lonsdale and @TVT73
So cameras made before 2017-2 will have...
can you share this procedure with me ? i need to enable easy4ip service in my chinese Dahua PC-HDBW4631R-S (actually have only lechange server but not work)
...serial numbers of cameras / NVRs, the serial number is often used as part of a NAT traversal remote access system (typically called P2P or easy4ip). Previous MSP could even still have access to the cameras.
RTFM...
Thanks everyone. The camera is an older IPC-HDW1320S that I use for a dog kennel. Firmware is dated as well, 2.620.0000002.0.R, Build Date: 2017-08-30.
I can't find any reference to P2P in any of the network settings, but everything else mentioned is disabled. You might be onto something...
...had some do that. Which cam is it?
Make sure that P2P/Platform and all of the rest of that stuff is turned off. Under Network > TCP/IP > Easy4IP, make sure that's not checked.
Under UPnP, uncheck the Enable box and uncheck each of the services below.
Check that it's not set to check for...
I've not managed to log in remotely no. I can't manage to download internet explorer on the windows machine I use at home, instead it pointed me to this "smart DSS" software which I'm not really used to.
I am stumped too, and I am also pretty unhappy. Dahua refused to tell me which firmware is...
...login/machine interface….
May have nothing to do with the problem but it’s sure easier to get around in and manage.
I’m stumped. 99.9% of the time with this scenario it’s a password issue or protocol (Private is correct for Dahua)
Sure P2P is turned OFF (on some older FW its called Easy4IP)
...the time server is outside the LAN subnet where your cameras reside, this port would need to be allowed through the firewall. Also block the easy4ip service in your router, if possible, in case disabling it in the camera settings doesn’t work; and then put on your tin foil hat :)

...Although I was able to add Dahua cameras to the Imou app, I encountered difficulties in accessing their API. Therefore, a solution that utilizes P2P, allowing me to connect to the network using easy4ip and subsequently use Dahua's API, would be more suitable for my situation. Thank you for...
@VegetaSan, better to use VPN to access your cameras when outside your LAN. Easy4IP is part of the Dahua P2P solution they offer for cloud access to Dahua cameras. Some members on the forum use P2P but most here recommend the use of a VPN. if you have an always-on computer, you can install...
Thank you for answer, it defiantly works now!
However I want to ask if there is way to avoid using VPN? For example connecting to network by using easy4ip. Is this possible? Because I see easy4ip option at my Dahua admin panel
...) that can communicate with Imou IP cameras through their API.
It's pretty easy , my service just call url of open API - https://openapi.easy4ip.com/openapi with methods names and can retrieve data from cameras
But now, I need to connect to my service Dahua cameras, at first I thought I...

...how you have things set up there but best to block Internet access by the cams if you can no matter what firmware.
I don't see the calls to easy4ip since I have the gateway and DNS on the cam pointed to its own IP. That should at least stop cluttering up your logs. That's not assured to...
...it's enabled again on two cams running that same firmware. I don't see the same with others running V2.840.15OG008.0.R, Build Date: 2022-02-18. Mine aren't Z4Es but same firmware. I don't see a ton of calls to easy4ip but I may have blackholed that in another way so might not be as apparent.
