Before you begin, you'll need to gather the following equipment:* Dahua camera(s)
* Dahua recorder (NVR or DVR)
* Ethernet cables
* Power supply for the cameras
* Screwdriver
* Drill (optional)

2. Install the Cameras

The first step is to install the cameras. Dahua cameras can be mounted on walls, ceilings, or poles using the included mounting bracket. Use the screwdriver to loosen the screws on the mounting bracket, and then attach the bracket to the desired surface. Once the bracket is secure, tighten the screws.

Next, connect the Ethernet cable from the camera to the recorder. If you're using a wireless camera, you can skip this step. Once the Ethernet cable is connected, power on the camera using the included power supply.

3. Configure the Recorder

Once the cameras are installed, you need to configure the recorder. The recorder is responsible for recording and storing the video footage from the cameras. To configure the recorder, connect it to your computer using the included Ethernet cable. Once the recorder is connected, open the web interface in your browser.

The web interface will allow you to configure the following settings:* Network settings
* Recording settings
* Camera settings

4. Add the Cameras to the Recorder

Once the recorder is configured, you need to add the cameras to the recorder. To do this, click on the "Add Camera" button in the web interface. The recorder will search for any cameras on the network, and then display a list of the cameras that it finds.

Select the cameras that you want to add to the recorder, and then click on the "Add" button. The recorder will add the cameras to the system, and then begin recording video footage from the cameras.

5. View the Live Footage

Once the cameras are added to the recorder, you can view the live footage from the cameras in the web interface. To do this, click on the "Live View" button in the web interface. The web interface will display a live view of the video footage from the cameras.

6. Record the Video Footage

The recorder will automatically record video footage from the cameras based on the recording settings that you configured. You can view the recorded video footage in the web interface by clicking on the "Playback" button. The web interface will display a list of the recorded video footage, and you can select the video footage that you want to view.
