DDNS Setup
Using a Static IP address from your ISP is a preferred method of operation. If
you are only able to get a Dynamic IP address (one that changes periodically),
you may consider using a DDNS provider.
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name Service) is an internet service which allows
you to associate the IP address of your DVR with a name like
www.myDVR.com. Some companies such as
www.dyndns.org
provide this
service free of charge. To use the service you must create an account with a
DNS service. You may register at DDNS Server:
