STEP 7 – Configure DDNS
Since most customers do not have a “static” internet address, we compensate for this using a service
called “Dynamic DNS.” This allows us to refer to the customer’s recorder using a customized name that
will stay synchronized with the customers NVR or DVR using Hikvision’s free service. To utilize this
service, simply access the DDNS tab from the “Network” section of “System Configuration” and perform
the following steps:
1. Check the box next to the ‘Enable DDNS’ option
2. Select “HiDDNS” as the DDNS Type
3. Select “America” and “United States” as Continent/Country
4. Provide a unique name under ‘Device Domain Name’
5. Click ‘Apply’ in the lower right
Assuming you picked a unique name, you should receive a message stating that the DDNS name has
been registered successfully.
The NVR / DVR can now be accessed the following ways:
1. Through the web, using the address: http://www.hik-online.com/customer-name where
customer-name refers to the name you’ve provided during DDNS registration
2. Through the iVMS 4500 mobile application
3. Through iVMS 4200 software for PC and Mac-based platforms
