    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Thanks everyone for your replies. This situation is more serious than I thought... I'll definitely set up a VPN like Tailscale to connect to the DVR and I'll probably disable P2P on the Wi-Fi camera. I'll also perform another factory reset on the DVR and apply the update I received from Dahua...

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Damn, that's scary. I also have a cheap Srihome Wi-Fi IP camera with P2P, and that doesn't inspire much confidence, especially since it's a relatively unknown Chinese brand. The camera is connected to the DVR via ONVIF, but I have P2P enabled because some functions don't work without it. I'm...

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    The DVR is connected directly to the internet. When I'm away from home, I connect to it via P2P using DMSS. I assume P2P isn't the most secure option, especially considering it's a somewhat older device, but it's more convenient because my network uses CG-NAT. I was thinking about using a VPN...

    Is my Dahua DVR being hacked?

    Hi everyone, First post here, I found this place while looking for a Dahua user forum to find out if someone unauthorized is accessing my DVR. I have the DH-XVR1A04, and on two separate occasions I noticed that two admin users were created without my intervention. Two months ago, an admin user...
