How to setup / install my new Dahua system?

This FAQ deals with one of our most common questions.

“I’ve just bought a Dahua IP kit from you – what do I do?”

What you need:

• the Dahua camera/s
• The Dahua NVR
• Precrimped Cat5e/CAT6 Cables or an installer who supplies the CAT6 cables (with RJ45 ends). (1 per camera and 1 from the NVR to the modem). Note – max length of these cables must be 95 metres or below.
• A monitor or TV (with VGA or HDMI connections) (you can buy a 22′ 1080p monitor from officeworks for around 100.)

Steps:

• Run the CAT6 cables to the locations you require (1 per camera). The cables should come back to the location where your NVR is located.
• Connect & install the cameras to one end of the cable and connect the other end to the NVR. Please seal connections near the cam with electrical tape to protect against water ingress
• Plug in the monitor via a VGA or HDMI cable to the NVR
• Connect an ethernet cable from the NVR to the modem (if you wish to do remote viewing).
• Turn on the NVR / Monitor – you should see a setup screen.
• Ensure you write down the username / password you choose. Its a pain in the bum to reset.
• After setup, you should see your cameras on the screen!
