Express link
Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register
a domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address.
This service will examine if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your
router. If using DDNS, the user has to manually congure UPnP port forwarding. Express
Link is more convenient and easier to set up.
