Remote Control Made Easy: Adding Dahua Devices via P2P in DMSS Mobile
Practical knowledge for your next installation.

DAHUA's suite of security products, including DAHUA cameras and DAHUA NVRs, are designed to provide comprehensive surveillance solutions. With the DMSS Mobile app, you can remotely control and manage these devices with ease. This article will guide you through the process of adding a DAHUA device to the DMSS app via P2P (Peer-to-Peer), allowing for seamless integration and remote access.

Prerequisites:

  • A DAHUA device that has already been initialized.
  • The DMSS Mobile app installed on your smartphone.

Step by Step Instructions:

Step 1: Verify P2P on the Dahua Device

  • Access the local monitor or web interface of your DAHUA device.
  • Navigate to "Network > P2P" and ensure that P2P is enabled and the status shows "Online."

Step 2: Open DMSS Mobile App

  • Launch the DMSS app on your mobile device and tap the "+" icon at the top of the Device screen.

Step 3: Initiate Device Addition

  • In the DMSS app, tap on "SN/Scan" to begin the process of adding a new device.

Step 4: Scan QR Code or Enter SN Manually

  • Scan the QR code displayed on the right side of the Dahua device's P2P settings page.
  • Alternatively, tap on "Manually Enter SN" if you prefer to input the device's serial number (SN) and security code.

Step 5: Enter Device Details

  • If the SN is not already in the field, enter it under "Device SN and Security Code."
  • Choose "Local" to add the device to your mobile device only, or select "Account" to add it to your logged-in Dahua DMSS Account.
  • Tap "Next" to proceed.

Step 6: Select Device Type

  • Tap on the type of DAHUA device you are adding (e.g., Camera, NVR, PTZ Camera).

Step 7: Configure Device Settings

  • Give the device a unique name in the "Device Name" field.
  • Input the login account username in the "Username" field.
  • Enter the login account password in the "Device Password" field.
  • Tap "Save" to confirm and save the settings.

Step 8: Verify Successful Addition

  • If the device has been successfully added, you will be presented with the live view of the device, indicating that it is ready for remote control and monitoring.

The DMSS Mobile app simplifies the process of adding and managing DAHUA devices remotely. By following these steps, you can ensure that your DAHUA Cameras, NVRs, and PTZ Cameras are integrated into the app via P2P, providing you with real-time access and control. Whether you need to monitor your home or business, DAHUA's remote capabilities, coupled with the DMSS app, offer a secure and user-friendly solution.

 

Remember, with DAHUA and DMSS Mobile, you have the power to stay connected to your security system, no matter where you are.
