“Viewnetcam.com” service
Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)
IMPORTANT
Before using the DDNS service, it is necessary to perform the port forwarding setting for the router.
About Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant)
Operation using DDNS services other than the “Viewnetcam.com” service is not guaranteed. We are not
responsible for any troubles or accidents on the circumstances where the unit is used arising out of such
services. Refer to the DDNS service providers for the selection and configuration of the DDNS services
other than the “Viewnetcam.com” service.
Note
“Viewnetcam.com” is a Dynamic DNS service designed for use with Panasonic Network Cameras. Refer to
the
“Viewnetcam.com” website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about the service.
About DDNS services (IPv4/IPv6)
By using a DDNS service, it becomes possible to view camera images via the Internet. The DDNS service
associates dynamic global addresses and domain names.
It is possible to configure the settings for the
“Viewnetcam.com” or Dynamic DNS Update (RFC2136 compliant). In
most of the DNS services offered by providers, global addresses are not static but dynamic. Therefore, access
to the unit via an old global address may be invalidated after a certain period of time. Either of the following
services is required when accessing a unit whose global address is not static via the Internet.
DDNS service (such as “Viewnetcam.com”)
It is possible to access via a registered and static domain name (example: *****.viewnetcam.com) even
after the global address is changed. Enrollment in a domain name service is required even when using
the IPv6 connection.
Refer to the “Viewnetcam.com” website (http://www.viewnetcam.com/) for further information about the
service.
Static IP address service (such as a service offered by a contracted provider)
In this service, global addresses are static (not changed).
