How To Access Camera GUI Through Your NVR

[Parley]

I use Hikvision NVR's and just ran across this recently. You can get to the internal menu of your IP camera by doing this on a Hikvision NVR. I do not know about the Dahua NVR. This works for both my Hikvision and Dahua cameras.

Here is a link that shows you how to do it: Mast Digital | Trade Distributor of CCTV, Aerial & Satellite, AV equipment. How to access your IP cameras via your Hikvision NVR

Below are two screen shots from one of my Hikvision NVRs. By the way I love this feature. On the far right are the camera addresses that you click on.

Yep, Dahua has that as well.

The best way is to get into the camera GUI. To get into the camera GUI, you need to first access the NVR GUI by going to a computer and opening up a browser (preferably Internet Explorer but Pale Moon will work as well) and type in the IP address of the NVR and login that way. Next go into the camera settings page on the NVR and look for the Microsoft e Web Browser and select it and it will go to the camera GUI (photo credit bigredfish from his PSA thread). Your screen may look a little different to get into the camera gui and see if doing it this way gets you access to some other features the NVR is blocking - do not worry about the Port number and circle as that was from another issue someone posted.

Simply select the blue IE icon and it will go to the camera GUI and from there you can set the camera parameters.

See this thread for more detailed information on setting up the NVR
