9.3 Configuring
DDNS
The Alien Hero models incorporate an independent Dynamic DNS updater service to
resolve the router IP address when the router is not allocated a static IP address.
This service is called IPPOSTCODE and is now available for the ALIEN654,
ALIEN658, ALIEN666, ALIEN674 and ALIEN678. Further information about other
models will be advised when available.
Note: Standard Hero models require firmware v 2.2.8 build 130912 or later.
HD Hero models require firmware v 2.2.2 build 130906 or later.
The DVR needs to contact the server at ippostcode.com so must be able to resolve this
name. To achieve this, a valid DNS server must be defined in the network settings.
You should use your own router’s internal address whenever possible, eg: 192.168.0.1
or 192.168.1.1 or similar. Alternatively you may use a public DNS server 8.8.8.8.
