7-12. Using Dynamic IP Addresses for Internet Access
The main function of “ID code” is to solve possible problems with connections having dynamic IP
addresses. DigiCap PRO/XP DVR has a built-in IP address register function. If you enter the ID
code into DigiCap PRO/XP and enable the “ID Identify Server” icon, then when you start
DigiCap PRO/XP, its built-in IP Identify capability allows others to connect directly to your
DigiCap II DVR from their FreeView Pro software or IE browser via the Internet. In cases where
you do not have a fixed IP address assigned to your DVR, the ID Code may use the DVR to redirect
browsers to the DVR by announcing its current IP address to the IP Identify Server.
What is the IP Identify Service?
When the “Auto connect to IP Identify Server” option is enabled, the DigiCap PRO/XP sends a
message to the central IP Identify Server per hour. This machine then knows what IP address your
DVR has for the current session. When other users try to access your DVR, they are routed through
the IP Identify Server to your DVR.
Do I need to use the IP Identify Service?
No. Ask your ISP about setting up a fixed IP number for your local account. Once you have a fixed
IP number, disable the “Auto connect to IP identify server” option.
