Safely activate Dahua NVR

The first activation determines who is the administrator and whether you can safely restore your account later without mixing them up.

Safely activate Dahua NVR

Where the function is intended for

A recorder is sometimes quickly activated with a shared or temporary password. This makes delivery more difficult, especially when app users later no longer know who is managing the system.

Setting or condition

Determine who becomes the owner and head manager, where recovery data will be securely recorded, and which time zone or daylight saving time setting is associated with the location.

Making a conscious choice

Choose a unique administrator password and then create separate user accounts. Add cameras, recording and app only after basic security and clock settings are correct.

What you check afterwards

Sign in with a limited account, check the date and time on the live view and export a test recording. Confirm that the owner has access to the agreed recovery route.

Frequently asked questions

Can everyone use the administrator account?

No. Use personal or limited accounts for daily viewing.

Why is the time setting important when activating?

A wrong time makes searching, incident images and log files unreliable.
