Typically, these partners take Dahua product and substitute their branding, along side their own internally developed product, or in some cases, other OEMs, making it sometimes difficult to determine what is and is not OEM. More confusing, many companies change OEMs from time to time.

Note: there are certainly far more Dahua OEMs than this list as our information sources are primarily North American based and even within North America, surely there are some others not yet listed.

Beware The Backdoor

A major vulnerability has been found in Dahua cameras, allowing unauthorized admin access, very likely impacting all the OEMs on this list, as well. See our report Dahua Backdoor Uncovered for more details. OEMs FLIR and Honeywell have already responded with their plans to address this issue.

Those using cameras from this OEM list should be sure to check for this vulnerability and seek new firmware from their OEM immediately.

Which is why I never recommend putting your LIVED IN HOME security accessible to the internet.

I can see the usefulness of a vacation home , but not your lived in home.

 

Thx for the replies.

I am currently remote watching two ADT units.

When you figure out the software in the damn thing, let me know. "Destructions" seem to have been written in Korean, translated to Chinese, Hebrew, Russian, and finally Spanglish

 

That ain't no shit,
Preese hehrow softly address DVR kindly..

I deal with the output of DVRs every day, and thankfully the Chicoms are really not innovators, they steal shit from each other constantly and when you start looking at the files the DVRs spit out, they are almost all H264 with their own little header so it becomes "theirs".

That and they grab the first three letters out of a can of alphabet soup to name their file extensions.

 

I got the Q-see figured out at my house on my LAN.
Using the Q-see software for remote video monitoring.
System is working perfect.
I decided to give it back to my friend because it emails you 3 pics when a camera detects motion.
Setup the system in his office, on his LAN. Everything working as it should.
Shut the system down for the night.
Next day unplugged the system and moved it to his back building where the cameras are installed.
The DVR lost all the settings.
It is on the same LAN as previous.
Cannot connect to the network.
The back building is maybe 200-250 ft. from his office.
This is a wired LAN.
When I ping the DVR from the office I get 4 packets sent 3 received, 1 lost.
Is the run too far?
Why did the Q-see DVR lose its settings?
Model QT548.
thx
david

 

I think I have it narrowed down to a bad connector end in the Back building.
I will change it out tomorrow and hope for the best.
thx
david

 

I don't know if that model has one, but you might pop the cover and see if it has a CMOS battery or one that looks like it that keeps the settings, it might be dead.

 

I have two Chineseoationized DVR both of them have batteries. One is a Q-see, the other a "look alike"

 

Good idea,
thx

 

I got the wiring problem straightened out.
Now from the back building I can get to the internet on my laptop.
No go with the DVR.
My son thinks the run is to far. 320ft.
He suggested a switch in the office where the back building wire comes in.
Shortens the run about 30ft.
I can view my cameras, at my property, on the internet.
Bit when we try to go to a website the link fails.
We tried IE and Chrome. Both failed?
Any ideas?
thx
David

P.S. We had a Matrix/ADT DVR connected in the back building and it worked fine. Not so with the Q-see.

 

the switch might help you run of 200 to 250 is the max for a cat 5 cable. Don't know anything about the CCTV just It experience

 

Alright, installed a switch in the office and another switch in the back building by the DVR system. Working perfect.
Now he had a power failure and the system won't boot up.
Unit has a warning sticker on it that states "Do not turn unit off with the switch. It must be shut down in the software."
I tried to use a recovery file from the Q-see site, but no go.
Unit turns on, coolant fan is running as is the hard drive. Power light on front of unit is illuminated.
Any ideas? Or is it toast?
Thx
david
