APPENDIX II
– PORT FORWARDING USING DYNDNS
Set Up Remote Access With DDNS
1
To enable easy remote access to your Storage Options IP
Camera, you can create a free DynDNS account.
DDNS “locks” your public ip address to a conveniently
name:
e.g.
soipcam.dyndns.org
Visit
http://www.dyndns.com/
Under “Free Domain Name”, type a unique name you
would like your address to be, then choose a domain and
click “Add”.
2
If your chosen address is available, it will be added to your
shopping cart. If the address is already taken, you will have
to choose another.
Continue with the checkout process to register your free
account.
Once you have registered your account, go to “My
Services” and choose “My Hosts”.
You will see your Hostname and under “Details” should be
your WAN IP address. If it is not displayed, you will need to
enter it manually. Refer to your router’s setup for your
WAN address.
3
Next, you must ensure your router’s UPnP service is turned on. To confirm this, you may need to refer to your
router’s instruction manual.
If your router does not support UPnP, you will have to manually open a port for your IP camera. Again, you will
need to refer to your router’s manual for this.
