6.9 – UPnP Settings
UPnP settings allow you to use the camera’s software to configure port forwarding rather than doing it
manually within your router. If your router supports UPnP, you can check the box that reads “Using UPnP
to Map Port.” The camera software will automatically try to configure port forwarding within your router for
the port number you have assigned as “HTTP Port” under the “Basic Network Settings” page.
To learn more about port forwarding, see the Quick Installation Guide.
6.10 – DDNS Service Settings
Dynamic DNS is a service used specifically for users who have Dynamic IP addresses. A Dynamic IP
address constantly changes several times a day, making it very difficult to track the IP address needed
to view a camera, since you would need the external IP address to connect to the camera.
Dynamic DNS is a feature already embedded in the camera software which can be set to a few third
party DDNS services. The most popular DDNS provider is DynDNS.com (Dyn.com) and No-IP. Other
DDNS services that are third party are also provided and set up for use within the camera (Oray,
3322.org, etc.).
To navigate to the Dynamic DNS Service Settings page, click “Device Management,” then click on
“DDNS Service Settings” on the left side of the page.
