Hello,
I just had a Dahua system setup in my home and am very new to this subject.
I have been trying to tune the default "setup" (from the installers) .. but since it was installed by others, I don't know much about the following hardware installed (but am trying to learn):
For the following items:
Dahua NVR
Dahua Cameras
All IPC’s are connected directly to the NVR.
Problem 1:
After updating the NVR to v4.005 firmware .. when attempting to open the website (via IP), everything looks “too big”. I’ve tried “zoom out” on the various browsers (Brave v1.65 and Firefox v115.0.2 on MacOS and Win11), but then the font becomes illegible. Best I can do is “zoom out” to 80% and have to scroll the pages a bit to use the webUI.
The webUI was “normal looking” on firmware v4.001, but it had issues with allowing user accounts to access the config of the connected IP cameras. (An error of “Failed to acquire config.” for any admin accounts created. (This was resolved with v4.005 firmware.)
I've attached a pic of what this looks like in my browser.
I’ve tried to search for anyone else with similar issues but was unable to find anything similar. Can someone assist on how to overcome this or point me in the right direction?
Problem(?) 2:
The system does not synchronize user (and groups) that I have created in the NVR to the IP cameras. The “main” admin account is present and the passwords seem to sync for that account, but I do not wish to use the “god” (equivalent) account for normal logins and would prefer to use (other) login accounts.
Is this normal for (all) accounts on the NVR to sync across all devices (such as the IP cameras)?
Problem(?) 3:
On the NVR when viewing via HDMI, I am able to look at the “alerts” and then click on the “alert” to see a clip of the “event”. Is this an option available when using the webUI? (I am unsure if this “too big” issue from problem 1 is hiding a button.)
Question 4:
I've read (from some how to's on this site) that P2P should be disabled. I have disabled P2P on all the IP cameras along with "auto update". Do I need to disable this on the NVR as well?
Any assistance an/or pointer in a right direction is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
