How to rename cameras on Dahua NVR

May 31, 2020
in Dahua

This guide will show you how to modify or change the camera’s name on Dahua recorders (DVR or NVR). Having your cameras renamed is convenient when viewing the cameras remotely or when you playback the recordings. You need to make sure to identify each camera based on their placement or location.

The method shown here works for all Dahua NVR or DVRs, also any other brands that resell Dahua OEM equipment. You’re good to go as long as you see the same bluish interface as below.

Rename cameras on Dahua

Step 1. Log in directly into your recorder by using your username and password.
Step 2. On the Main Menu, under the Settings section click on Camera.
Step 3. On the next window click on the Camera section.
Step 3. Here you can change the name (or title) for all the cameras hooked up to the Dahua recorder. Note: If you’re using a non-Dahua IP camera but a Dahua NVR, you may need to rename the camera (directly) by accessing it on the web browser. However, most of the time you can rename the camera via the local recorder’s interface.

Note: this guide works for Dahua and their OEMs sold under these brands: Activecam, Advidia, Amcrest, Ameta, Ascendent, Backstreet Surveillance, BV Security, CCTV Security Pros, CCTV Star, CP Plus (Orange Line), Dax Networks, eLine, ENS (formerly Eastern CCTV and SavvyTech), Expose, Lorex, GSS, Honeywell, IC Realtime, Ikegami, Impath Networks, Inaxsys, IndigoVision, Infinity CCTV, Innekt, Intelbras, KBVision, Lumixen, Maxron, Montavue, Oco, Optiview, Rhodium, RVI, Saxco, Security Camera King (Elite), Space Technology, Speco, ToughDog, Tyco Holis, Tyco Illustra Essentials, Unisight, VIP Vision, Watchnet, Winic, Zuum.

    Hi I’ve a dahua NVR running 4k cameras from the dahua family but I’ve noticed that one camera keeps defaulting back to cam 2 even though I’ve saved it as another name. Any ideas please

      Update the firmware on the NVR. If it’s the same issue, update the firmware on the camera as well.
