To switch views using the front panel controls, simply press the channel number button corresponding to the camera you want to view. To switch views using the web interface, log in to the NVR/DVR's web interface and click on the "View" tab. Then, click on the camera you want to view.

Then, tap on the "Live Preview" tab. On the Live Preview screen, tap on the camera you want to view. You can also use the app to control other aspects of your Dahua surveillance system, such as recording, playback, and PTZ (pan, tilt, zoom).

Using a Keyboard

If you have a keyboard connected to your Dahua NVR/DVR or computer, you can switch camera views using the keyboard. To do this, press the "Ctrl" key and the number corresponding to the camera you want to view. For example, to switch to camera 1, press "Ctrl" + "1".

Using a Joystick

If you have a joystick connected to your Dahua NVR/DVR, you can switch camera views using the joystick. To do this, move the joystick in the direction of the camera you want to view. For example, to switch to camera 1, move the joystick to the left.
