DDNS and UPnP settings 

“Enable DDNS” 

This option turns on the DDNS function.

 

“Provider” 

The provider list contains four hosts that provide DDNS services. Please 

connect to the service provider’s website to make sure the service charges.

 

“Host name” 

If users wants to use DDNS service, this field must be filled. Please input 

the hostname that is registered in the DDNS server.

 

“Username/E-mail”

 The Username or E-mail field is necessary for logging in the 

DDNS server or notify users of the new IP address. 

Note

: when this field is input as 

“Username”

 the following field must be input as 

“Password”

.

 

“Password/Key” 

Please input the password or key to get the DDNS service.

 

“Enable UPnP” 

This turns on or off the UPnP function. When UPnP is turned off, the 

camera cannot be found through network neighbors in MS Windows XP. If the UPnP 
network component is installed in Windows XP, the hostname of the Network Camera 
will be shown with bracketed IP address in the Network neighbors. Ex: Network 
Camera (192.168.0.96). That is: The hostname of the Network Camera is “

Network 

Camera

and the IP address of the Network Camera is

 192.168.0.96. 

“Enable UPnP Port Forwarding” 

This turns on or off the UPnP port forwarding. 

When there is a router with UPnP certified Internet Gateway Device in the local network. 
This function can make port mapping for Network Camera automatically and users can 
access the Network Camera via Ethernet with the given port.

 

“Save” 

Click on the button to save current settings for the DDNS service and UPnP 

function. 
Network Camera provides a free DDNS service. Administrators can choose safe100.net 
in the “Providers” field to use it. At the first time, Administrators must register an 
account for it. 

Video codec parameters 

“Text on video”

 The text will be displayed in the black bar above the video window 

with a timestamp. The timestamp is captured from the date and time of the Network 
Camera that is maintained by a built-in real-time clock.
