Dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is supported for updating, in real time a changing IP address on the Internet to provide
a persistent domain name for a resource that may change location on the network. RFC 2136
Dynamic Updates in the Domain Name System. In this situation the camera talks only to the DHCP
server and the DHCP server is responsible for updating the DNS server. The camera sends its
hostname to the DHCP server when requesting a new lease and the DHCP server updates the DNS
records accordingly. This is suitable for an intranet style configuration where there is an internal
DHCP and DNS service and the user wants only to access their camera within their own network.
By default, when making a DHCP request the camera transmits its hostname as part of the DHCP
request. This option is not user configurable. The cameras hostname matches the configurable
parameter “camera name” on the Web User Interface. Any DHCP request contains the cameras
hostname for use of the DHCP server to forward to an appropriate DNS server.
