Dahua is one of the world’s largest CCTV manufacturers and quite popular worldwide, including the United States. The company is a Chinese private-owned entity that claims no affiliation with the Chinese government, but that has not stopped the US government from banning Dahua and their OEM from federal CCTV projects.

A large number of American companies and CCTV sellers buy Dahua OEM security equipment and resell them using their own brand name, logos, models, most of the time purposely hiding the fact that the cameras are Dahua.

How to tell a Dahua OEM

There are a few ways to tell if a security product is Dahua OEM.

Similar Interface

Even though the OEM resellers try to hide the fact the equipment is made by Dahua, there are still similarities in the interface that can’t be hidden. These clues are the web interface layout, the login screen, user interface and layout, the color scheme, the placement of the settings, etc.

So, if you compare the interface of a Dahua brand name camera with one from an OEM seller, you’ll notice that interface is quite similar. An example is shown below, an IC Realtime interface and the original one from Dahua (notice how similar they are).

Same Configuration Tool

All Dahua OEM models can be discovered by using the Dahua’s scanning tool (called IP Config tool). Simply run the software on the laptop, scan the network, and no matter what brand the device has, if it’s Dahua, it will get listed on the tool.

Below is an example, an IC Realtime device is detected by Dahua’s IP config tool. That’s an indication the device is Dahua OEM.

The MAC address

You can look up the MAC address of the OEM device and find out if it’s reported as Dahua-made equipment. For example, you can use this tool MAC OUI to lookup (from Wireshark) the MAC address. However, some OEM resellers are able to hide or manipulate the MAC addresses in order to mask the original manufacturer.

Model number on the motherboard

The OEM resellers use their own models and logos for the equipment they sell, but still, if you open up any device (camera for example) you’ll find the model number inscribed on the motherboard. Simply google it and you should find out that, in fact, it’s a Dahua OEM.

Dahua Security Vulnerabilities

Dahua-made security devices are famous for their repeated major cybersecurity vulnerabilities in the past few years. So far, the following vulnerabilities have been found (according to IPVM):

  • Wiretapping vulnerability, 2019:A security researcher discovered that audio streams could be accessed without authentication in Dahua and OEM models. In other words, an unauthorized party was able to attack the camera and listen to its microphone, even when the option was disabled on the camera’s settings.
  • Exposed credentials, 2017: Vulnerable Dahua cameras and DVRs or NVRs contained an unsecured configuration file with the device’s username and password. Hackers could remotely access these devices and retrieve their credentials.
  • Hardcoded backdoor, 2017: This software vulnerability allowed unauthorized parties to gain admin access to the camera, basically, fully taking over the camera’s feed or the DVR/NVR.

If you’re using any of the products from the companies listed in this article, make sure to update their firmware to the latest version, especially if the equipment is manufactured by Dahua.

HDCVI Cameras & DVRs >>HDCVI Cameras

Resolution determines the number of pixels within a given video image, which in turn determines the amount of definition possible within the video image.

4K has a resolution of 3840x2160 which translates to aproximately 8.5MP, meaning 4K offers 4x the picture quality of 1080p.

4 in 1 cameras supports multiple video formats including HDCVI, HDTVI, AHD & CVBS. This means that the user does not have to worry about format compatibility between cameras. The video format for these cameras can be switched using the PFM820 controller (model dependent)

HDCVI cameras that have the HD/SD switchable feature can be changed to standard definition, allowing for compatibility with legacy equipment.
