Dhcp Server; Ddns Service - Planet NVR-820 User Manual

the network or you can manually turn off the DHCP server function if you wish to use a separate

DHCP server.

7.1.2 DHCP Server
The built-in DHCP Server function is NOT always configurable and is greatly dependant to the
connection type that is set to "Network Settings".

7.1.3 DDNS Service

DDNS, which stands for "Dynamic DNS", is a method, protocol, or network service that provides
the capability for a networked device, such as a router or computer system (in this case, the
NVR) using the Internet Protocol Suite, to notify a domain name server to change, in real time,
the active DNS configuration of its configured host names, addresses or other information
stored in DNS.
A popular application of dynamic DNS is to provide a residential user's Internet gateway that
has a variable, often changing, IP address with a well-known host name resolvable through
standard DNS queries.
This is useful if the NVR is placed on the Internet with a dynamic public IP, which once the
DDNS is properly set up, users can access the NVR remotely with the DDNS domain name
without worrying if the IP has changed or not.
* Please make sure a valid DNS server has been configured under the "Network
Settings" page in order for this function to work properly.
* The NVR currently only works with free DDNS service provided by "PLANET
DDNS". For more information, please go to
