System > DDNS
The Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) allows a host name to be constantly synchronised
with a dynamic IP address. In other words, it allows those using a dynamic IP address to be
associated with a static domain name so that others can connect to it by name.
To use DDNS
1
From the Network page, set the camera to acquire its IP address via DHCP, as described
in Acquiring an IP address automatically ( on page 33).
2
On the System tab, click DDNS in the menu on the left.
3
Select Enable DDNS.
4
In the Provider list, select the DDNS provider .
5
Type the registered domain name in the Host name box.
Note: Only enter the desired third-level host name into the box. For example, if the
host name is hsd820.dyndns.org, then type hsd820.
6
In the User name/E-mail box, type the user name or e-mail required by the DDNS
provider for authentication.
7
In the Password/Key box, type the password or key required by the DDNS provider for
authentication.
8
Click Save to confirm settings.
