Configuring Dahua Access Points is a breeze with this straightfoward video guide. Using the DH-WBC5-90AC & DH-WBC5-30AC Access Points, lean how to set up access points below.
In this video we will be using the Dahua Toolbox to see each device on the network. We will configure each Access Point (AP) individually as they have the same default IP address.
Configuring Dahua Access Points
Open the Toolbox and run the Config Tool. There’s one Access Point sitting on the network at this stage, which will be set up as the main AP for Clients (CL) to connect to.
The default IP for these AP’s is 192.168.1.36, and we’ll use Edge in Internet Explorer mode to connect to the AP using this IP address. Open Edge and enter the AP’s IP address into the search bar
Create a memorable password for the AP. This passwords used for logging into the AP to change settings, etc. It’s not used for connecting devices to it
Use that password to login and begin the config of the AP
Set the mode to Access Point. You can name the AP to make it easy to find when pairing the Client end to create the Wireless Bridge
Set your Encryption type and the password for Clients to use when connecting to the AP
You can change the Output Power here, but for now I’m going to keep it on High Performance
I want to give my AP a Static IP Address. Depending on your Network these settings may vary. You will probably have a different Gateway, IP Range, etc
Here you can review the settings and apply them. The AP will log you out as it’s IP address has changed
I can see the AP IP Address has now changed in the Config Tool. I’ll now power the Client end of the Wireless Bridge and wait for it to appear on the Config Tool. It may take a few minutes to appear
Configuring Client End
Connect to the CL end of the Wireless Bridge using Edge and the IP Address shown in the Config Tool
Again, set a Password for the CL Device and login
At this stage we will tell the Unit it will be in Client mode. We want to connect to the AP end of the Bridge. You can enter this manually or click the search icon to search for the AP
Select the AP from the list and click OK. Input the password you created on the AP for any connecting devices
We’ll give the CL a static IP Address close to the IP Address of the AP, so they’re easy to find in the future
Again, the device will log you out as it’s IP Address has changed
You can go back to the Config Tool and see that both ends of the Wireless Bridge are now initialised. You can now login to both the AP and CL to check their settings if needs be.
Wanting to check if a remote device (an IP Camera) which is connected to the CL via its PoE out Port, is coming through correctly? Log into the device to see if you are able to see the image from the camera.
And it is! The wireless Bridges configured correctly.

Ajax Pro Desktop. Today, more and more people begin to appreciate the need for integrated housing protection. Reliable door and window grating represents the first barrier. A security system that provides control over the environment and informs about events represents the second barrier. If an incident occurs, it needs to be responded to immediately and as effective as possible. Professional monitoring services’ unchallenged in this field.
Demand breeds supply — the number of new security and service companies that ensure protection of a specific area of a city, residential compound or cottage estate is growing. They rely on new technologies, and efficiency, quality of service, and reliability represent the key success factors of their business. People are willing to pay for such security services.
Ajax fits perfectly into the new security business model — users love it and it has proven its reliability to professionals. Because of such advantages as quick installation, remote administration, simple service, and ultra-high reliability, more and more security companies choose Ajax as its standard equipment. The Ajax applications for smartphones and computers have already saved thousands of hours for installers and engineers.
Ajaxs’ aim is to offer a comprehensive solution to ensure the protection of a residential area — hundreds of private houses or thousands of apartments with professional monitoring and effective response around the clock. The updated Ajax PRO Desktop application is the right solution.
New features
Starting a monitoring service based on a standard console software requires careful preparation. A new company needs to set up equipment, adapt the application, and train its staff. However, these are not all the difficulties. Every facility will have to connect to the console manually. There is no way to automate this procedure.
In October 2017, Ajax released a mobile application: Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers, and half a year later, they released a version for computers — Ajax PRO Desktop. The programs are accompanying the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) simplifying the management of the Ajax security systems for installers and engineers.
Today, Ajax present the monitoring feature in Ajax PRO Desktop. The application allows the operator to process alarms arriving from up to 2500 facilities, configure security systems remotely, perform detector adjustment at the customers’ requests, and manage access rights. Facilities are connected automatically in just a few minutes and no additional settings are required. There’s nothing superfluous in Ajax PRO Desktop. A short briefing’s enough to get started.
Ajax PRO Desktop is a free alternative to the Central Monitoring Station for security and service companies that ensure safety of residential compounds and cottage estates.
Implementation of monitoring is a simple task
Having chosen the Ajax PRO Desktop as a monitoring solution, you do not need to spend time setting up the application and security systems as well as transfer information manually. You can just log into the administrator account, request access to the hubs, and specify the addresses of the facilities.
Thanks to the Ajax Cloud server, all Ajax applications contain up-to-date information about the security systems: composition of devices, settings, user rights, and events.

What can Ajax PRO Desktop do?
Using the Ajax PRO Desktop application, a single operator of security
or service company can manage up to 2500 Ajax security systems.
The monitoring functions open in a separate window and don’t block other features of the Ajax PRO Desktop application. By monitoring security system events, you can change their settings, manage access rights, and view the statuses of the guarded facilities.
The event window is as informative as possible and provides filtration by types of alarms, malfunctions, general events, and security events. Each type of events assigned a specific color, which simplifies navigation:
How does the system respond to alarms?
When a guarded facilitys trespassed, caught on fire or is flooded, the operator receives an audible notification of an event in Ajax PRO Desktop. All the necessary information is available in the Alarm handling menu:
Where exactly the incident occurred.
What caused the alarm: entrance door opening detector and subsequent
movement in the hallway detected trespass; smoke detected in the
kitchen; alarm button is pressed in the application or on the keyfob;
the user was forced to enter the code, etc.
The real-time update of the facility security system event history.
Who are the users of this security system and their contacts.
What happens?
The operator sends an alarm to the rapid response teams by radio or other means adopted by the company. He/she reports on the nature of the event — this affects how exactly the security guards will act. If there is reason to believe that residents are in danger, it is crucial to get to the apartment (house) as fast as possible. In the event of a robbery, it makes sense to cordon off the building first and check for suspicious vehicles nearby. The best way to prevent flooding is to shut off the water supply to the floor or the building.
Having notified the rapid response team, the operator contacts the security system users and reports on the measures taken.
The Ajax PRO Desktop marks the alarms as processed and supplements them with comments from the operator and the security guards. This occurs once problems resolved. Comments, together with the information about the time of alarm reading and processing stored in the event history, will be useful in the case of client’s complaints.
The Ajax PRO Desktop applications designed for macOS, Windows 7/8/10. Minimum computer requirements:
