In this tutorial, we’ll guide you through the process of setting up your Dahua NVR (Network Video Recorder) in the DMSS mobile app by scanning a QR code or entering the Serial Number in manually. This method simplifies the configuration process and allows you to access your surveillance system remotely with ease.
