2.2.2 Dynamic IP Addresses
DDNS is a service that allows your IP Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host
and domain name. This means that even though your WAN IP address is constantly changing, you will have a fixed
hostname you can use to access your cameras at all times. You can access the camera directly from the Internet using the
hostname and port number.
What is the HTTP Port no.?
1) Default HTTP Port is 88
All cameras have the default HTTP port of 88. For example, if the LAN IP link of the camera is http://192.168.8.102:88,
this means that the camera’s HTTP port is 88. You can change port 88 to another port if you’d like such as 2000 or 8090,
which will not be conflict with other existing ports like 25, 21,10000.Here you can set the port no. between 1 and 65535.
2) Change the default http no.88 to another one.
