How to find camera model and firmware? Dahua poe cameras on DVR

[stevef22]

I have mix-matched Dahua cameras on a Dahua DVR. They are difficult to reach physically.

How can I find the camera's model and firmware info via the Dahua DVR?






Much appreciated!

The best way is to get into the camera GUI. To get into the camera GUI from the NVR, 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.




But if the cameras are working for your needs, we would recommend not updating the firmware.
