5  Network Configuration  

Dahua IP cameras feature a built-in Web interface to control all aspects of camera operation. This 

section includes details about the supported network protocols, configuring IP addresses, and 

configuring alarms and local recording options. Refer to the camera’s 

Operations Manual 

for full 

details. 

5.1  Network Protocols 

Dahua cameras support RTSP, RTP/TCP, RTP/UDP, HTTP, DHCP, TFTP, QoS, IP version 4 (IPv4) 

and IP version 6 (IPv6). 

RTSP

 

 Cameras communicate with video management systems over Real Time Streaming Protocol. 

Do not change the RTSP port unless you are sure your VMS does not use the default setting. 

RTP/TCP

 

 The Real-time Protocol/Transmission Control Protocol is best suited for applications that 

require high reliability, and transmission time is relatively less critical.

 

RTP/UDP

 

 The Real-time Protocol/User Datagram Protocol is used for live unicast video, especially 

when it is important to always have an up-to-date video stream, even if some images are dropped. 

HTTP

 

 The Hypertext Transfer Protocol is an application protocol for distributed, collaborative, 

hypermedia information systems.

 

DHCP

 

 The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol allows network administrators to centrally manage 

and automate the assignment of IP addresses. DHCP should only be enabled if using dynamic IP 

address notification, or if the DHCP can update a DNS server. 

TFTP

 

 The Trivial File Transfer Protocol is a simple, lock-step, File Transfer Protocol which allows a 

client to get from or put a file onto a remote host. TFTP lacks security and most of the advanced 

features offered by more robust file transfer protocols such as File Transfer Protocol.

 

QoS – 

Quality of Service guarantees a certain level of a specified resource to selected traffic on a 

network. A QoS-aware network prioritizes network traffic and provides a greater network reliability by 

controlling the amount of bandwidth an application may use. 

IPv4 – 

The IPv4 (IP version 4) is enabled by default and obtains the IP address automatically. The 

address can be used to allow or block network traffic that matches a specified address or protocol. 

The IP address must be valid for the network. For more information, contact your network 

administrator.

 

IPv6 – 

A typical IPv6 (IP version 6) node address consists of a prefix and an interface identifier (total 

128 bits). The prefix is the part of the address where the bits have fixed values or are the bits that 

define a subnet. A typical IPv6 address may resemble the following example: 2001:db8: :52:1:1. The 

IP address must be valid for the network. Before making changes to the IPv6 address, consult with 

your network administrator.
