Dahua NVR, XVR & IP Camera Login: Default IP Address, Username and Password

by

I prefer configuring my Dahua IP cameras through a web browser. However, to do that, I first need to know their IP addresses.

Every Dahua IP camera comes with a default IP address that you can access through a web browser. This address is usually set by Dahua, the company that makes the cameras. However, you can change it to whatever IP address you need. For example, if your camera’s original IP address is 192.168.1.8, you can change it to 10.10.10.100 through the camera’s settings.

Below we explain the default settings of IP address, username and password on Dahua network cameras.
