3.7.2 DDNS Status
After all these steps are done you should be able to access your camera from your mobile device or tablet
(using an app). You can also access your camera via your computers’ or laptops’ web browser using the
DDNS address.
Before you can access it, you first need to check the DDNS status from the camera. Login to the camera and
choose “
System ”>” Device Info ”. Please check that ‘DDNS Status’ shows ‘succeed’ followed by the address.
This is illustrated in the image below. It is important that you get the address link of DDNS to access the camera
from anywhere in the world. You can also find this address on the bottom of your camera. Write this address
somewhere or add is as your Favourite in your web browser to visit the camera from outside the network (from
your mobile device for example at work, school, on the road etc.)

Congratulations! You’ve know successfully installed your IP camera. It is always a good idea to ask friends or
family to login to the camera from their own place. Don’t forget to change the password of the camera
afterwards! Please save this manual for additional features. The following steps in this manual are only needed
if the camera is not accessible from outside the network, or if you want to use additional features.
If it didn’t succeed, it is most likely that UPnP is not supported by your router, please set the port forwarding
manually (as explained in the next step). You can always leave UPnP on, whether it’s working or not. If DDNS
status still doesn’t show ‘succeed’ please check the FAQ, Chapter 4, at the back of this manual or our website
www.ebodeelectronics.eu .
3.7.3 Set Port Forwarding in the router
(Manually)
ADVISORY : We highly recommend you to give the ebode camera a static IP address. This ensures you that the
camera will always have the same IP address, and reduces the risk of not being able to access and view the
camera by your mobile device. To give your camera a static IP address, please check step 3.3 in this manual.
This is the most important step. Please check the ‘extra information’ in step 3.4 for more information about
routers and port forwarding.
In order to get the DDNS to work, you have to forward your cameras port in the router. You need:
-
IP address of the camera
- Port of the camera
- Default gateway IP address of the router
- Username and password of the router
