Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is simply a way of using a static hostname to connect to a dynamic IP address.
When connected to your ISP, you are assigned a temporary IP address. DDNS services keep track of
your IP address and route your Domain name to that address when you wish to connect to the camera
from a remote location.
