DDNS SETUP
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the capability for a networked device using
the Internet Protocol Suite to notify a DDNS host to change the active DNS configuration of
its hostnames or addresses. This is a useful feature that your Q-See DVR system is equipped
with and can be helpful in avoiding any issues that might occur due to frequent or unplanned
changes to your Public/WAN IP address. Enabling DDNS on your Q-See DVR system will
allow you to connect to your device through a DDNS host such as myq-see.com. In order
to facilitate this ability on your Q-See DVR system, you must first set up Port Forwarding as
directed in the following pages. Once you have enabled Port Forwarding, you can configure
your DDNS information by following these steps:
1. Using a computer that is connected to the same network as your Q-See DVR, use
your IE Browser to go to http://myq-see.com.
2. Click on the NEW USER Link at the bottom of your page (http://myq-see.com/reg.asp).
3. Complete the registration process by following the on-screen directions and click the
SUBMIT button at the bottom of your screen. IMAGE 16
4. The next screen will ask you to create a domain name. Domain names must start
with an (a-z) or (0-9) and cannot contain a hyphen. Once you choose your domain
name, click on the REQUEST DOMAIN button. This will generate a confirmation
screen which tells you if your Domain name is available and list an IP address (IMAGE

). Verify that this is your current IP Address by going to www.myipaddress.com and
checking that it is the same address listed in your confirmation screen (IMAGE 17).

5. Once you have completed steps 1-4, go to the DVR and select NETWORK from the
main menu.

on the DDNS SETUP button to generate a DDNS setting dialog box (IMAGE 18).
