DDNS Settings
The Domain Name Service (DNS) is using name servers that allocate the host names to
the respective IP addresses. If your camera has a static IP address, you can enter this IP
address into the address field of your web browser and you will get a connection to your
camera.
If your camera obtains its IP address dynamically via DHCP server, the DNS is not able to
allocate the host name to the IP address. The IP address of your camera is changing
every time a connection is established. Therefore, the Dynamic Domain Name Service
(DDNS) has been introduced. The DynDNS updates frequently the allocation of the used
IP address to the host name.
Requirements for using DDNS
u
You need to register a host name for your camera with a DDNS service (e.g. http://
mycam.dyndns.org). The DDNS service provider will allocate a domain name to you
upon request.
u
The DDNS settings on the
Network
screen below must be correct.
u
The Gigaset WLAN Camera will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects
that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP
address. (The
Check WAN IP Schedule
determines how often the Gigaset WLAN
Camera checks if the Internet IP address has changed.)
This system allows other Internet users to connect to you using the domain name allo-
cated by the DDNS service provider.
