Serial Number vs. Device ID

Description

This article will go over the differences between a Serial Number, and a Device ID.

A serial number is a sequence of numbers used to identify a specific product. For Dahua devices, this serial number is also used when accessing the system remotely via P2P. Dahua recorders and cameras do not have a Device ID.

A Device ID is used primarily for P2P access on FLIR recorders and cameras.
