The initialization process can be performed using the latest version of the Dahua Config tool which is a software that allows you to detect the cameras on the network and modify their settings. How to Initialise a Dahua IP camera Initialization using the Config Tool If you are installing multiple cameras that will be connected to an external PoE switch, the cameras will need to be initialized and the quickest way to do that is by using the Config tool (explained below). Older recorders (prior to 2018) will need to have cameras initialized manually using a computer/laptop before they can be used. So, the password you set for the PoE NVR will be set to the cameras as well. On recorders with built-in PoE ports, this process happens automatically and the current recorder “admin” password is copied to the cameras. The initialization can be performed through the recorder’s (local) user interface. Before these cameras were easily hacked since the users didn’t bother to change the default password. This process was introduced to enhance security by removing the default “admin” password (which used to be 123456), instead of adding a method for the installer to create this password themselves during installation. In other words, you initialize the camera by creating a password (by default the camera comes without any password). When configuring a new IP camera for the first time (or after a password/factory reset), an initialization process must be performed before the camera can be used. Let’s start by explaining what is camera initialization. The instructions are valid for Dahua and their OEM versions sold under various brand names. In this guide, we will provide all the explanations and steps required to manually initialize an IP camera before using it. ![]()
