Dahua Password Limit

Recommended Posts

I found it very surprising that a new DAHUA NVR I just purchased appeared to be limited to 6 characters for user login names and password.

 

The Q-See model I had previous (which I assume is built by DAHUA) allowed 8 characters.

 

If these are linux based (?), has anyone figured out a way to set this username and password limitation to 8 characters?

 

In this day and age, 6 characters is just a bit 90's.

 

thanks

M.

Although they are Linux-based, the limit is in the recording application itself, not the Linux subsystem. I don't think you can change to 8 chars and nor do I see a reason for this - bruteforcing the passwords is a no-no, since the DVR will block the user after 3 failed login attempts.
