How do I enable DDNS on my system?
Once you have registered for free DDNS service, use the information in the confirmation email to
configure DDNS settings on your system
You can enter your DDNS information directly on your system (recommended) or using the built-in
remote surveillance software. If using the remote surveillance software, however, you must enter
your DDNS on your local network (i.e. not over the Internet).
To enable DDNS on your system:
1. Open the MAIN MENU and click
ADVANCE
.
2. From the Advanced Setup menu, click
NETWORK
.
3. From the Network Setup menu, enter the
Primary
or
Secondary DNS

of your router in the
MANUAL DNS
field. See “Manual DNS” on page 26.

DDNS SETTINGS
.
5. Under DDNS, select
ON
.
6. Under SERVICE, select
LOREX

first portion of your DDNS domain
from the
confirmation email. For example, if your domain name is [email protected], you only
need to enter
tomsmith
in the text field.
8. Enter your Lorex DDNS
user name
and
password
in the respective fields.
NOTE:
Obtain this information from the confirmation email after registering for the free Lorex DDNS
service.
9. Click
APPLY
. Click
CLOSE
in the confirmation window.
10. Click
EXIT
in all menus until all windows are closed.
11. To ensure your DDNS settings are saved on your system, disconnect the power cable from the
rear panel of your system. Allow the system to power down for 15~20 seconds. Reconnect the
power cable.
NOTE:
Please allow 10~15 minutes for the DDNS servers to update with your new DDNS address. This
is normal for the DDNS system.
