Should unbranded Dahua NVR’s and ip cams be plug and play with branded Dahua equipment?

[tubac]

Generally are unbranded Dahua NVR’s plug and play with unbranded ip cameras?
I am referring to equipment from places like Nelly’s or Security camera King or Linovision.

Thanks,

Hi Tubac,

Sometimes rebranded Dahua OEM cameras are plug and play with Dahua's OEM NVR.

However, I would not plan for that as just a few changes can stop them from being plug and play, thus

Basically plan to sync the following info between the camera and the channel on the NVR
1) IP address and port
2) Username and password
3) and video substream info

Thank you for the reply!

So if plug and play does not work, change the ip of the camera to conform to the NVR using the config tool, chose a user and password and add the video sub stream info? I don’t want to go Onvif because I might lose some functionality. Am I missing something?

Thats the basics.. if a Dahua OEM NVR and Dahua OEM camera they should be able to communicate with each other using the Dahua APIs. So should not need to configure as ONVIF imho

I cannot speak for those other companies you listed, but Nelleys does not sell any Dahua products anymore rebranded or New, Anything you got from them would have to be Onvif, They are using Uniview, Hik and they have their own R series brand(Goswift), I have tested all three with Dahua NVR's and They work well on record and motion but thats it.
