® b. Create domain name(s) for use with your device(s) Once signed in, you will need to add a domain. This will be the address used to access your device. Each account can request up to 5 domains for use with multiple devices at different IP addresses.
® Enter the desired domain name into the blank and hit submit. If the name is available, the user will be informed of a successful domain creation. Otherwise, the user will need to choose a different name. Step 2. Configure the NVR to use zmododns. *The NVR must be actively connected to the internet prior to setting up dynamic DNS a. In the NVR, navigate to "Configure system settings”, then "Configure network settings”, then click on the "DDNSSettings”. b. Choose "zmododns” from the server drop down menu.
® Step 3. Access device via domain name or zmododns.com The user may access his/her device directly via the domain registered (i.e. http://zmodoexample.zmododns. com) Zmododns.com will also have the latest updated public IP address for each of the domains on the user's account. The log in interface is easy and intuitive, and will remember the user's session (no need to log in again on subsequent visits). Once logged in, the user will be presented with links to his/her domains.
® Step 4. Port mapping setting of D-Link router Type in the IP address of router in browser, to log in the main interface of router management. 1.Enter the USERNAME and PASSWORD for your router when prompted. If you are not sure what your router password is, please locate your router onwww.routerpasswords.com If the default password provided bywww.routerpasswords.com does not successfully log you into your router, please call your Internet Service Provider to find out your router's USERNAME and PASSWORD.
® 3. To make sure your ports have been successfully opened, navigate to: www.yougetsignal.com From there click on Port Forwarding Tester.
® You will need to check each port for connectivity using this tool. Enter 80 into the PORT NUMBER field, then click CHECK. You should receive the folling notation: PORT80 is OPEN on XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX Note: The remote access that you see is your IPC’ external address. This is the IP address you will see when you access your IPC via other different computers. Please write this down. If the port is open, then you can visit remotely the IP camera via DDNS domain name at : http://jerry123.zapto.
