This section explains how to configure the dynamic domain name service for the Network
Camera. DDNS is a service that allows your Network Camera, especially when assigned with a
dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.
Express link
Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register a
domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address. This
service will examine if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router. If
using DDNS, the user has to manually configure UPnP port forwarding. Express Link is more
convenient and easier to set up.
Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:
1. Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated.
2. Check

device, a warning message will show up. If the host name is valid, it will display a message as shown
below.
