Dahua VTO2101 Video Doorbell Setup Guide

1. Introduction to Dahua Software

Before using and configuring Dahua equipment, it is necessary to update or change the software for correct operation and task completion. Follow the step-by-step instructions below.

For setup and operation of Dahua IP intercom systems, use the universal program "Tool Box". This program contains all necessary utilities for working with Dahua equipment. Download the Tool Box software from: http://ftp.viatec.ua/Dahua/Soft/ToolBox/

1.1 Account Creation

After installing Tool Box, create an account for full functionality.

1.2 Authorization

Authorize within the program by entering your email address and password.

1.3 Installing VDPConfig

Install and launch the tool for working with Dahua IP intercoms: "VDPConfig".

[Screenshot description: Dahua Tool Box Product Selector Tool interface, highlighting the VDPConfig tool.]

VDPConfig is a device configuration tool that primarily supports building talk systems.

2. Device Activation

Before setting up the call panel (VTO) and intercom (VTH), devices must be activated using VDPConfig.

2.1 Call Panel Activation

[Screenshot description: VDPConfig interface showing a list of found devices, including VTH and VTO types. An uninitialized VTO2101E is selected. The "Device initialization" window is open, showing the selected device and an "Initialize" button.]

Select the uninitialized VTO2101E and click "Initialize" ⚙️.

[Screenshot description: Device initialization dialog with fields for Username (default 'admin'), New Password, Confirm Password, and Email Address for password reset. Password requirements are displayed.]

Enter the desired password for the call panel. The Email Address ✉️ field is for password reset. After initial activation, it is recommended to change the device's IP Address using VDPConfig.

3. IP Address Configuration

After activation, you may need to change the device's IP address. This is done via VDPConfig.

[Screenshot description: VDPConfig showing device list. A "Setting" dialog is open for IP address configuration, allowing search within a segment and password entry.]

Enter the external network segment to scan and the call panel's password.

[Screenshot description: "Modify IP Address" dialog. Options for Static/DHCP, Target IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway are shown.]

Configure the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway as required.

4. Intercom Activation

Intercoms can be activated in two ways:

1. Via VDPConfig, similar to the call panel. Important: Use a 6-digit password for VDPConfig activation, as the intercom interface only accepts digits.
2. Using the intercom's local interface.

[Screenshot description: Intercom interface showing device initialization screen with fields for Password, Confirm Password, and Email.]

[Screenshot description: Intercom main menu with options like Call, Info, Monitor, SOS, Settings. Navigation to Network -> LAN -> VTH Config.]

Access Network ? settings, then LAN, and VTH Config.

5. Firmware Update

After activation, update the device firmware.

Firmware and language packs for the call panel (VTO) are available at: http://ftp.viatec.ua/Dahua/Firmware/VDP/SIP%20FW/VTO2101E/

Firmware for the intercom (VTH) is available at: http://ftp.viatec.ua/Dahua/Firmware/VDP/SIP%20FW/VTH52X1D/

After selecting the firmware file, click "Upgrade" ⬆️. The device will reboot and be ready for further setup.
