192.168.1.108 Admin Login

192.168.1.108 is a private IPv4 address belonging to the Class C range of the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet. Unlike typical router gateway addresses such as 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1, this address is most widely recognized as the factory default static IP address for network-connected surveillance and security devices — most notably cameras, NVRs (Network Video Recorders), and DVRs (Digital Video Recorders) manufactured by Dahua Technology and its OEM partners, including Amcrest and Lorex. When you perform a factory reset on any of these devices, they revert to 192.168.1.108 as their default static IP, making it the go-to address for initial setup and configuration. In a standard home or office network, 192.168.1.108 can also be dynamically assigned by a DHCP server to any connected device — such as a laptop, smartphone, smart TV, or printer — as the 108th host address in the 192.168.1.x range. Whether you are configuring a Dahua IP camera out of the box or simply trying to reach a device that your router has assigned this address to, understanding how 192.168.1.108 works is essential for smooth network management.

How to Access 192.168.1.108

To access a device at 192.168.1.108, open your preferred web browser and type http://192.168.1.108 directly into the address bar, then press Enter. If the device at this address is a Dahua IP camera, NVR, or DVR (or an OEM variant from Amcrest or Lorex), you will be greeted with the device's web-based administration login panel. Enter the default credentials — typically username: admin and password: admin — to gain access. On newer Dahua firmware versions, you may be prompted to create a new password on first login for security purposes.

If the device at 192.168.1.108 is a general network device assigned this address by your router's DHCP server, the login interface will vary depending on the manufacturer. In all cases, make sure your computer or laptop is connected to the same local network (same 192.168.1.x subnet) as the device. If you are trying to reach a Dahua camera that is freshly reset and not yet on your main network, you may need to temporarily set your computer's IP address to a static address in the 192.168.1.x range (for example, 192.168.1.100) with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 to establish a direct connection.

Once logged in to a Dahua-based device at 192.168.1.108, you can configure the following settings:

• Network settings — Change the IP address from the default 192.168.1.108 to one that fits your existing network scheme.
• Video stream quality — Adjust resolution, frame rate, and bitrate for main and sub streams.
• Motion detection — Set detection zones, sensitivity, and alert schedules.
• User management — Add, remove, or modify user accounts and access levels.
• Firmware updates — Upload and apply the latest firmware to keep your device secure.

If You Can't Access 192.168.1.108

If typing http://192.168.1.108 into your browser returns an error or a blank page, there are several possible reasons and solutions to try:

• Your device is on a different subnet: The most common reason you cannot reach 192.168.1.108 is that your computer is on a different subnet — for example, 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x. To fix this, either connect your computer directly to the device via an Ethernet cable and manually set your computer's IP to 192.168.1.100 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0), or change your router's LAN subnet to 192.168.1.x.
• The device's IP has been changed: If someone previously configured the Dahua camera, NVR, or DVR, the IP address may have been changed from the default 192.168.1.108 to something else. Use the Dahua ConfigTool (available from Dahua's official website) to scan your network and discover the device's current IP address.
• IP address conflict: If another device on your network has already been assigned 192.168.1.108 by your DHCP server, there will be a conflict. Log in to your router's admin panel (typically at 192.168.1.1) and check the DHCP lease table to identify which device holds this address.
• Firewall or browser issue: Disable any browser extensions or firewall rules that might be blocking local network access. Try a different browser or use an incognito/private window.
• Device is powered off or disconnected: Verify that the camera, NVR, or other device is powered on and properly connected to your network switch or router via Ethernet.

If none of the above steps resolve the issue, performing a factory reset on your Dahua device will restore it to 192.168.1.108 and allow you to start fresh. See the factory reset section below for detailed instructions.

Brands That Use 192.168.1.108 as Their Default IP Address

Unlike most router gateway addresses, 192.168.1.108 is primarily associated with IP surveillance and security equipment rather than routers. The following brands are confirmed to use 192.168.1.108 as their factory default static IP address:

• Dahua Technology — The original and primary brand associated with 192.168.1.108. All Dahua IP cameras (IPC series), NVRs, and DVRs ship with or reset to this address by default. The default login is admin / admin (or a user-created password on newer models). Dahua is one of the world's largest manufacturers of video surveillance products.
• Amcrest — Amcrest is a major OEM partner of Dahua and its cameras, NVRs, and DVRs inherit the same default IP of 192.168.1.108 after a factory reset. Amcrest devices use the same web interface and ConfigTool as Dahua products. Default credentials are typically admin / admin.
• Lorex — Lorex security cameras and recorders, many of which are based on Dahua hardware, also default to 192.168.1.108 upon reset. Lorex is widely used in North American residential and small business security installations.
• Generic/OEM Dahua-based cameras — A wide range of white-label and OEM IP cameras built on the Dahua platform also use 192.168.1.108 as their default static IP. These are sold under various brand names globally and share the same firmware architecture.

It is worth noting that 192.168.1.108 is not a standard default gateway address for home routers. If you are looking for your router's admin panel, you should check addresses like 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1, or 192.168.1.254 instead.

If you have forgotten the password for your Dahua, Amcrest, or Lorex device, or if you simply want to restore it to its default state at 192.168.1.108, follow these factory reset procedures:

Dahua IP Camera — Physical Reset Button

1. Locate the reset button on your Dahua camera. On most models, it is a small recessed button or a jumper pin located on the camera body or inside the housing. Refer to your specific model's quick start guide for its exact location.
2. With the camera powered on, press and hold the reset button for 10–30 seconds (the exact duration varies by model). Some models require you to hold the button while powering on the device.
3. Release the button. The camera will reboot and restore all settings to factory defaults, including reverting its IP address back to 192.168.1.108 and resetting the username and password to admin / admin.
4. After the reboot, connect your computer to the same network and navigate to http://192.168.1.108 to access the setup wizard.

Dahua NVR/DVR — On-Screen Reset

1. Connect a monitor and mouse to your Dahua NVR or DVR.
2. Right-click on the live view screen to access the main menu. If you are locked out, look for a physical reset button on the back or bottom panel of the unit.
3. Navigate to Main Menu → Maintain → Default and select Factory Default to restore all settings.
4. Alternatively, hold the physical reset button for 10–30 seconds while the unit is powered on to force a hardware reset.
5. After the reset, the NVR/DVR will return to its default IP address of 192.168.1.108.

Amcrest Devices — ConfigTool Reset

1. Download and install the Amcrest IP Config Software (also known as ConfigTool) from the Amcrest support website.
2. Launch the tool and allow it to scan your local network. It will detect your Amcrest device even if you do not know its current IP address.
3. Select your device from the list and use the Reset Password option. You will need to provide the device's serial number and a reset code generated by Amcrest support.
4. Once the password is reset, you can log in and reconfigure the device, including setting the IP address back to or away from 192.168.1.108.

Changing the Default Password on a Device at 192.168.1.108

Leaving your Dahua, Amcrest, or Lorex device with the default admin/admin credentials at 192.168.1.108 is a serious security risk. Anyone on your local network — or on the internet if the device is port-forwarded — could gain unauthorized access to your camera feeds and device settings. Here is how to change the password:

1. Open your browser and go to http://192.168.1.108.
2. Log in with the current credentials (default: admin / admin).
3. Navigate to Settings → System → Account (on Dahua/Amcrest web UI) or the equivalent user management section.
4. Select the admin account and click Modify or Change Password.
5. Enter your current password, then type and confirm your new strong password. Use a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
6. Click Save or OK to apply the change.

You should also consider changing the default IP address from 192.168.1.108 to a static address that fits your network's DHCP range — for example, 192.168.1.200 — to avoid potential conflicts with DHCP-assigned addresses. Do this under Settings → Network → TCP/IP in the device's web interface.

What Is 192.168.1.108 — Understanding Private IP Addresses

192.168.1.108 is a Class C private IPv4 address that falls within the reserved private address range of 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255, as defined by RFC 1918. This means it is not routable on the public internet and can only be used within a local area network (LAN). Millions of home and business networks around the world use the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, making addresses like 192.168.1.108 extremely common in private networking environments.

In the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, the address space is divided as follows:

• 192.168.1.0 — Network address (not assignable to devices)
• 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 — Usable host addresses (254 total)
• 192.168.1.255 — Broadcast address (not assignable to devices)

Within this range, 192.168.1.108 is the 108th usable host address. In a typical home network where the router acts as a DHCP server starting assignments from 192.168.1.2 or 192.168.1.100, the address 192.168.1.108 could be dynamically assigned to any device — a laptop, smartphone, smart TV, gaming console, or IoT device — depending on the order in which devices connect to the network.

However, as detailed throughout this page, 192.168.1.108 has a very specific and well-known role as the factory default static IP address for Dahua-based surveillance equipment. This makes it important to be aware of when setting up a security camera system alongside a standard home network, as conflicts can arise if your router's DHCP server assigns 192.168.1.108 to another device at the same time a Dahua camera is using it as a static address.

Related IP Addresses in the 192.168.1.x Subnet

If you are managing a network that uses the 192.168.1.0/24 subnet, you will likely encounter several other important IP addresses alongside 192.168.1.108. Here are the most commonly used addresses in this range and their typical roles:

• 192.168.1.1 — The most common default gateway address for home routers, used by brands such as TP-Link, Linksys, Netgear, and many others. This is the address you type into your browser to access your router's admin panel.
• 192.168.1.254 — An alternative default gateway used by some routers, particularly older models from 2Wire, Westell, and certain ISP-provided modems.
• 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.107 — Addresses typically assigned by DHCP to connected devices, or reserved for static assignment to specific devices like printers or NAS drives.

Other commonly referenced private IP addresses outside the 192.168.1.x range include 192.168.0.1, 10.0.0.1, 192.168.2.1, 192.168.8.1, 192.168.10.1, and 192.168.100.1, each associated with different router brands and network configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions About 192.168.1.108

What device uses 192.168.1.108 as its default IP address?

192.168.1.108 is most commonly the factory default static IP address for Dahua Technology IP cameras, NVRs, and DVRs, as well as OEM devices from Amcrest and Lorex that are built on the Dahua platform. When you reset any of these devices to factory defaults, they revert to 192.168.1.108. It is not a standard router gateway address — for your router's admin panel, check 192.168.1.1 instead.

How do I log in to a device at 192.168.1.108?

Open your browser and navigate to http://192.168.1.108. For Dahua, Amcrest, or Lorex devices, use the default credentials: username: admin and password: admin. On newer Dahua firmware, you will be prompted to set a new password on first login. Make sure your computer is on the same 192.168.1.x subnet to reach this address.

Why can't I access 192.168.1.108?

The most likely reason is that your computer is on a different subnet (e.g., 192.168.0.x or 10.0.0.x). You need to be on the 192.168.1.x network to reach 192.168.1.108. Another possibility is that the Dahua or Amcrest device's IP has been changed from the default. Use the Dahua ConfigTool or Amcrest IP Config Software to discover the device's current IP address on your network.

Is 192.168.1.108 safe to use on my network?

Yes, 192.168.1.108 is a standard private IP address and is safe to use within your local network. However, if you have a Dahua, Amcrest, or Lorex device at this address, you should immediately change the default admin/admin password to prevent unauthorized access. You should also consider assigning the device a static IP outside your router's DHCP range to avoid address conflicts.

How do I reset my Dahua camera back to 192.168.1.108?

To reset your Dahua camera to its factory default IP of 192.168.1.108, locate the physical reset button on the camera body (refer to your model's manual for its exact location). With the camera powered on, press and hold the reset button for 10 to 30 seconds until the camera reboots. After the reboot, the camera will be accessible at 192.168.1.108 with the default credentials admin / admin. The same procedure applies to Amcrest and Lorex cameras built on the Dahua platform.

Can two devices share the IP address 192.168.1.108?

No. Just like any other IP address on a local network, only one device can use 192.168.1.108 at a time. If two devices are assigned this address simultaneously — for example, a Dahua camera with a static IP of 192.168.1.108 and another device that your router's DHCP server has also assigned 192.168.1.108 — an IP address conflict will occur, causing connectivity issues for both devices. To prevent this, configure your router to exclude 192.168.1.108 from its DHCP pool, or change the camera's IP to a static address outside the DHCP range.

What is the subnet mask for 192.168.1.108?

The standard subnet mask for 192.168.1.108 in a typical home or small office network is 255.255.255.0, which corresponds to a /24 CIDR prefix. This means the network portion of the address is 192.168.1.0, and the host portion is .108. All devices with IP addresses in the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254 and the same subnet mask are on the same local network and can communicate directly with each other — including your Dahua camera at 192.168.1.108 and your router at 192.168.1.1.
