Given the name 5216-16P it sure looks like a Dahua OEM.

But keep in mind that all devices are not able to be upgraded. Some or locked or hacked and will brick or not take an update.

Further, it is best to obtain any firmware updates from the vendor you purchased it from so that you do not run into issues. Any firmware you find here or elsewhere is obviously proceed at your own risk. We have many threads here where someone tried an update with a firmware they found on the internet and bricked their unit.

Many units being sold are Chinese hacked units into English that will either brick or go into Chinese upon updating. Some vendors will be upfront and tell consumers that as part of their website, but many do not or the consumer forgets...here is one such example....

Well you said you tried all dahua firmware, so I was pointing out why it probably isn't taking it or doing what you want.

But regardless, the app should be able to be used.

We don't recommend P2P.

Have you tried Internet Explorer - some of these are really sensitive to browser.

Are you serious to even ask that question about internet explorer in ios or android LOL.

I saw on your screenshot that you were logged into the camera GUI via a computer and web browser, so I suggested using Internet Explorer as maybe the browser you are using isn't allowing you to turn on P2P.

If P2P or some other security items are turned off in the NVR, then you won't see it on the DMSS app. Those need to be enabled first and that is done within the NVR GUI.

Is your NVR and mobile device on the same LAN IP address range. Try to get it working locally first.

I think it looks like a Dahua NVR.


Here are some commands from the API documentation to attempt to find out more about this NVR.
Do not translate HTTP request URLs.

You should be able to do this in Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, etc.
To use these: copy the HTTP request URL into a browser and replace <server> with the IP address of your NVR.
Example: http://192.168.1.108/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getHardwareVersion
You will then have a password prompt from the browser.

CommandHTTP requestDesired outputNotes
Get Hardware versionhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getHardwareVersion
version= <Number>
Get Vendor Informationhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getVendor
vendor= <'Dahua' or OEM Vendor name>
Get Software Informationhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSoftwareVersion
version= <Software version>, build <date>Should be the same as the software version photo you shared.
Get Version of HTTP APIhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/IntervideoManager.cgi?action=getVersion&Name=CGI
version= <API Version>HTTP API version (helps with commands later).
Get System Informationhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getSystemInfo
serialNumber= <SN>
deviceType= <number>
processor= <CPU type>
Serial number and Device type should be the same as the photo you shared.
Processor type is important information.
Get Language Capabilityhttp://<server>/cgi-bin/magicBox.cgi?action=getLanguageCaps
Languages= <multiple languages supported>

What I am trying to establish is the characteristics of this NVR.
"Get Language Capability" should be a way to find out if this is a Chinese 'grey market' version. Ideally this would return multiple languages. These should be the same as in the settings list, and in the same order.

All these commands are the 'get' commands, action=get, that is important because we are looking for information and do not want to set parameters.
