    Hey guys. I'm a technician for an alarm company, we install these DVRs and NVRs, I've experienced a few of this same issues mentioned, as well as the DAHUA I have at home. What I was told was that DAHUA did a firmware update that was executed incorrectly. They are aware of the issue.

     

    This is the fix I was given, keep in mind when formatting the hard drive you will loose all your previous recordings.

     

    Step 1

    - HD manage

    - Format

    - Execute

    - Ok

    - Ok (restart)

    Step 2

    - Settings

    - Default

    - Ok

     

    So basically your factory defaulting he settings. I did notice that the recording schedule and motion recording stayed there after settings were defaulted.

     

     

    I did this with a few of my customers earlier today to find out the "Hacked" camera screens and Image settings returned. Im not sure that this is the best long term solution unfortunately. I would pursue getting your customers the latest Dahua firmware revision thats guaranteed to close this backdoor into their DVRs.

     

    Im working on getting some updates from them and confirmation that this will solve the issue.

    The issue is with the Telnet function on older FW DVR / NVR

     

    Contact your supplier they have the SW to sort the Telnet issue

     

    Dose not matter if you have changed all passwords on the unit and is its P2P or static IP and you have changed the ports or not they can still get in and I have witnessed that 3 times this week already

     

    Dahua say upgrade any Firmware dated pre 2017

     

     

    I can vouch for this post 100%. Several of my customers are reporting the same issue. The pre 2017 Firmware has a backdoor allowing remote users to access '888888' username without a password. I dont know if any of your customers have gotten "hacked" while using P2P because I have yet to see that.

     

    I am curious if anyone has seen that yet using P2P so I know what to expect with some of my newer customers.

     

    I must say Dahua seems to be taking security very seriously with the newer 2017 Firmware revisions. Such a shame with the older ones though. So many service calls in our future

    Hello everyone!

     

    Long time site visitor first time member. Just wanted to introduce myself here and hopefully learn some new things and can share some of my experience with the members here!

     

    I have been in the "industry" for roughly 8 years now working for a "supplier" and my share of solo projects and installations in my local area.

     

    Thank you for letting me into the community!

     

    Cheers!
