DDNS Screen
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, as follows:
• You must register for the DDNS service with a DDNS service provider. The DDNS
Service provider will allocate a Domain Name to you upon request.
• The DDNS settings on the DDNS screen above must be correct.
• The Network Camera will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the
Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address. (The
Check WAN IP Address determines how often the Network Camera checks if the Internet
IP address has changed.)
This system allows other internet users to connect to you using the Domain Name allocated by
the DDNS service provider.
This screen is displayed when the DDNS menu option is clicked.
