Alias DDNS Name
: You may find that your DDNS is too difficult to remember. EnGenius provides free DDNS name registration as
long as the alias is not yet been taken other EnGenius product users. You can check the availability by clicking on the button
Availability Check
for verification. In this example, “superman.engeniusddns.com” is available. That is, when the setting is
activated, both DDNS name “
superman
.engeniusddns.com” and “
0e95c28
.engeniusddns.com” can be used to access this
camera.
Refresh Time
: options are 3HR, 6HR, 9HR, 12HR and 24HR. DDNS server needs to synchronize with your IP address often so
that you can access your device over the Internet with DDNS name. Depends on your Internet Service provider, your WAN IP
address lease time will be different. You can check with your local Internet Service provider for WAN IP address refresh time. The
default setting is
24HR
(which means DDNS server will check the synchronization
every 24 hours
). Normally, the default
setting 24HR is okay for most cases.
DDNS Status
: when working properly, it should show “Connected”.
Note
: DDNS will only work only if your router is connected to the Internet. If router is not connected to the Internet, your DDNS
status will show “Disconnected”.
If you prefer to use third-party DDNS server, you can choose this option.
The current supported third-party DDNS services are 3322(qdns), DHS, DynDNS, ZoneEdit and CyberGate. Choose the one that
best suits your purpose. You should provide your account information so that the camera can communicate with the selected
DDNS vendor.
