13.2 Network Menu - DDNS
If you do not have a static IP address for your router then your routers public IP
address assigned by your internet service provider can change periodically. DDNS
(Dynamic Domain Name System) is used so that your remote device can still access
your recorder when the address changes. The recorder periodically updates the
DDNS server with the routers public IP address and the software or mobile app gets
the address from the server to connect to the recorder.
Every Zip recorder is supplied with a free, 3 year DDNS service for its user. This
allows you to quickly set up the recorder for remote monitoring, without the added
expense or hassle of setting up a static IP.
The easiest way to set up a recorder for remote monitoring is to use the P2P feature
where you scan a QR using the mobile app and the recorder's settings are
configured for you. You can find out more about this in the
P2P section .
When setting up your recorder using P2P you don't need to worry about DDNS as
everything is done automatically. If you are unable to set up remote monitoring via
P2P you will need to configure DDNS as explained below and
Port Forwarding .
You only need to set up port forwarding and DDNS if you intend to monitor your
CCTV using the Zip Vision mobile app, PC client or IE web client.
