【Login background】


Step 1 Prepare tool
Need prepare SecureCRT or Xshell,


Note: pls download SecureCRT from from GKS:https://gks.dahuasecurity.com/default.aspx

Path: Technical Academy /  Training Materials (EN) /  ITR Materials /  Useful Tool



Step2  Check the network 


Make sure the network connection is good
1、Ping the IP of DSS,
2、If you see the result shown in the following figure, the network is ready;



If you see a result like the one shown below, the network is not ready, pls check it .



Step3  Enable SSH


1st generation DSS（DSS016，DSS4004）

  • If firmware version is 6.07 or earlier,SSH is enabled by default ；
  • If the firmware version is 6.08, you need to access the configuration page to enable the SSH connection ,as below picture


2th generation DSS（DSS7016-S2，DSS4004-S2）, you need enable the SSH connection as shown in the picture



Step4  if you want login background in WAN, pls make sure the port 22 is mapped;
 

telnet + IP of DSS+22.

For example, type: telnet 10.35.98.128 22


Note:  Only DSS4004；DSS7016 can login background in WAN. for DSS4004-S2；DSS7016-S2, can only login background in LAN
 

Step4  if want login in WAN, pls make sure the port 22 is open ;
If the port 22 is already open, the result will be show like below
                                   


If the port 22 is closed or SSH is disabled, the result will be show like below



Step5  Login the background by SecureCRT

Click  “Quick Connect” button and you will see the connection Pop-up window.



Enter the connection configuration and click the connect button, then you will see the login Pop-up window. 

Host name is ip address of DSS, port : 22, username : root, as picture 4.




The default password is dh-qQ3j! or dahua2006. When the password of config system is modified, the login password is also modified to 7ujMko0+password of config system ( for example, the PW of config system is admin123, the background password is 7ujMko0admin123 )



You will see the window like below pic if login success.


DSS7016



DSS4004



【Upgrade firmware】


There are two ways to upgrade firmware：

1、ConfigTool——suggested

2、Web upgrade

Note：

1、suggest using Configtool 

2、If the firmware version is 6.01 or earlier，you can only use Configtool for upgrading



【Upgrade firmware】Use ConfigTool


Step1  On the admin page of DSS, select System -> Upload -> click upload icon to download the tool



Below shows the  tool


Unzip the file and find the configtool.exe file in the directory in the figure below


Step2 login DSS by tool: 

(1) User name：admin

(2) Password: use the password of DSS config page

Factory default password: 123456 or admin

(3) Port：3800




Step3  Open the new firmware （bin suffix），then click “Upgrade”; if the upgrade is successful, it will be prompted to upgrade successfully



【Upgrade firmware】Web upgrade


Step1  go to DSS config page，select “System Upgrade”， then browser the new firmware（bin suffix），click “Apply ” to upgrade，



【Clear Configuration】


Step1  login background


Step2  type：cd /opt;ls |grep -v tmp|xargs rm -rf;   【1】     

Then press “enter ” key

then wait for a while , until next line “/opt#” appear,



Step 3

Type command：cd /bak 【2】

Type command：mv db_backup date20190628 【3】

Type command：reboot 【4】

Then need wait about 20~40 minutes



【Get log】


Step1  login background


Step2  type：cd /opt/dss;ll 【1】

Then will show many service, for example ,

I want get the log of DMS



Step3

Type: cd DMS 【2】

Type: cd /log 【3】

Type: ll 【4】

Then will show all the logs of DMS within 30 days



Step4

Type: sz +the log name 【5】

For example , I want to download the log of 2019.6.28,

Need type:sz DMS_10534-2019-06-28-20-01-47.log



Step5  log downlod path



【Capture package】


Step1  login background


Step2   Go to log path; tpye command: cd /log



Step3  Capture command：tcpdump -s 0 -i any -w filename.pcap -v port xxx or host deviceIP


command parsing：

  • -i any ： Specify the network card of grab packets, lo means capture loop network card, eth0 means capture network card 1.  “any” means all network card, 

Note: if you have set load balancing configuration in the DSS , need using bond0, you should check by type ifconfig in background

  • -w filename：Output the package to a file named filename with the.pcap suffix that can be opened with wireshark
  • -v ：Output the current capture information in the process of capturing packets
  • port ：port number
  • host ip: ip address of dvevice, for example :IPC,NVR,etc


Step3  for example, you want to catch the packet between the DSS and the IPC: 10.15.124.10

type: tcpdump -s 0 -i any -w ah.pcap -v host 10.15.124.10 

Then repeating the problem 


Step4  After repeating the problem ， we need stop capturing package.

press : ctrl + c 


Step5  save the package

type: sz ah.pcap


We can also view the location of the downloaded file in the session options



Step6  provide the information of device

Need provide the ID number and IP address of the problem device



【Other tool Operation—SDK】 test Dahua device



For example: Copy all the files in C:\Users\27262\Desktop\General_NetSDK_Eng_Win64_IS_V3.050.0000005.4.R.190305\bin into   C:\Users\27262\Desktop\General_NetSDK_Eng_Win64_IS_V3.050.0000005.4.R.190305\demo\MfcDemo\01.RealPlayAndPTZControl\bin\x64release, open RealPlayAndPTZControl.exe to test.


【Other tool Operation—SDK】




  • Open the .exe file, and input the information to login.
  • After that you can try the basic function of dahua device， IPC/PTZ/NVR/XVR/VTO，etc.
  • If the SDK works fine, it indicates that the device is ok.


【Other tool Operation—VLC】



  • Run VLC to check RTSP stream
  • Select Media > Open Network Stream >Network
  • Input: rtsp://IP:<port>/cam/realmonitor?channel=<channelNo>&subtype=<typeNo>

<ip> :the IP address of the Dahua video product.

<port >:the default port is 554. It can be omitted.

<channelNo> :the channel number. It starts from 1.

<typeNo> :the stream type. The <typeNo> of main stream is 0, extra stream 1 is 1, extra stream 2 is 2.


【Other tool Operation—ODM】




Run ODM

  • 1. Input onvif username and password.
  • 2. Add the device
  • 3. Modify the IP and apply.


【Other tool Operation—ODM】test onvif protocal device 


Operation like Live video, as the left picture shows.
