Setting up your Dahua or Hikvision indoor and outdoor intercom stations using only Wi-Fi can provide a flexible and convenient solution for monitoring and communication. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this.
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Prepare Your Wi-Fi Network:
- Ensure that your Wi-Fi network is fully operational and that you have the SSID (network name) and password available for configuration.
-
Power On the Intercom Stations:
- Connect your indoor and outdoor intercom stations to a power source. Ensure they are turned on and are within the range of your Wi-Fi network.
-
Access the Intercom Web Interface:
- For both the indoor and outdoor units, use a web browser to enter the default IP address or use the appropriate configuration tool to find their addresses.
- Log in using the default credentials (usually "admin" for both username and password).
-
Navigate to Network Settings:
- Once logged in, go to the Network section in the settings menu.
- Select the option to configure Wi-Fi settings.
-
Connect to Wi-Fi:
- In the Wi-Fi settings, search for available networks. Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list.
- Enter the Wi-Fi password when prompted and confirm the connection.
-
Save the Changes:
- Make sure to save your settings to apply the Wi-Fi configuration. The intercom units may reboot to establish the new connection.
-
Test the Connection:
- After both intercom stations have connected to the Wi-Fi network, test the system by making calls between the units to ensure they are communicating properly.
-
Configure Additional Settings (Optional):
- Adjust any additional settings such as audio/video parameters, ringtones, or user preferences within the configuration menu.
