4.5.3 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service used to map a domain name to the
dynamic IP address of a network device. You can set up the DDNS service for remote
access to the NVR.
Figure 4-29
DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the NVR, so that the user does not need to go
through the trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server has changed.
Once the IP is changed, the NVR will automatically update the information to the DDNS to
ensure it is always available for remote access.
Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name
from the DDS service provider’s website. We support four DDNS server providers:
www.everfocusddns.com and www.dyndns.com.
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of
setting up your NVR.
