What You'll Need

To set up your Dahua surveillance system remotely, you will need the following:
A Dahua surveillance camera
A router
An internet connection
A computer or mobile device

Step-by-Step Instructions
Connect the camera to the router. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the camera to the router. If your camera does not have an Ethernet port, you can use a wireless adapter to connect it to the Wi-Fi network.
Power on the camera. Once the camera is connected to the router, power it on. The camera will start up and begin broadcasting its video footage.
Find the camera's IP address. There are two ways to find the camera's IP address. You can either use the Dahua Config Tool or the web interface.
To use the Dahua Config Tool, open the software and click on the "Search" tab. The software will search for all Dahua cameras on the network and display their IP addresses.
To use the web interface, open a web browser and enter the camera's IP address into the address bar. The default IP address for Dahua cameras is 192.168.1.108.
Log in to the camera's web interface. Once you have the camera's IP address, you can log in to its web interface. The default username and password for Dahua cameras are "admin" and "password".
Enable remote access. Once you are logged in to the camera's web interface, click on the "Network" tab and then click on the "Remote Access" sub-tab. Check the box next to "Enable Remote Access" and then click on the "Save" button.
Configure the remote access settings. Now that you have enabled remote access, you need to configure the remote access settings. You can choose to access the camera using the Dahua DDNS service or by using a third-party DDNS service.
If you choose to use the Dahua DDNS service, you will need to create a Dahua DDNS account. Once you have created an account, you can log in to the Dahua DDNS website and add your camera to your account.
If you choose to use a third-party DDNS service, you will need to create an account with that service and then add your camera to your account.
Test the remote access. Once you have configured the remote access settings, you can test the remote access by opening a web browser on a computer or mobile device and entering the camera's IP address or DDNS address into the address bar. You should be able to view the camera's live video footage.
