DDNS settings
DDNS servers allow you to connect to your recorder using a dynamic address. This
dynamic address needs to be registered with a DNS service. The DDNS setup menu
allows you to enable or disable DDNS and to configure it using ezDDNS, No-IP or
DynDNS.
Note
: Some service providers block the default RTSP streaming port 554 used for
video streaming, so if you are not receiving video images over the internet, you may
ne
ed to change it to another value. See Appendix C “Port forwarding information” on
page 190 for more information.
There are three ways to set up a DDNS account:
•
ezDDNS:
A free-of-charge service included with your recorder and fully managed
within the recorder interface. It is exclusive to TruVision products.
• DynDNS:
A third-party service where users need to apply for a DynDNS account on
the Dyn.com website.
• No-IP:
A third-party service where users need to apply for a no-IP account on the
no-ip.com website.
Caution
: If you use the services of DynDNS or No-IP, your account user name and
password for these services will be sent to them in clear text format when you set up
your connection in the recorder.
