Basic Settings - DDNS
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is
allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.This means that other Internet
users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a connection. DDNS is designed to
solve this problem, as follows:
•
You must register for the DDNS service with a DDNS service provider. The DDNS
Service provider will allocate a Domain Name to you upon request.
•
The DDNS settings on the
DDNS
screen above must be correct.
•
The Network Camera will then contact the DDNS server whenever it detects that the
Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server of the new IP address.
(The
Check WAN IP Address
determines how often the Network Camera checks if the
Internet IP address has changed.)
This system allows other internet users to connect to you using the Domain Name
allocated by the DDNS service provider. This screen is displayed when the
DDNS
menu
option is clicked.

The update is performed by the camera.
