Ddns - EverFocus EPN5230 User Manual

【DHCP Setting】
DHCP Enable: Check the box to enable the DHCP function. This setting lets the system use an
automatically assigned (dynamic) IP address. This address can change under certain circumstances. For
instance, when the camera's network switch/hub has to be rebooted. Do not assign to the DHCP server
the same IP addresses used for the other network cameras and PCs with unique IP addresses.
Click the Save button on the bottom-right to save the settings.

7.3.2. DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is a service used to map a domain name to the dynamic IP
address of a network device. You can set up the DDNS service for remote access to the IP camera.
DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the IP camera, so that the user does not need to go through the
trouble of checking if the IP address assigned by DHCP Server has changed. Once the IP is changed, the
IP camera will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is always available for
remote access.
Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name from the DDS
service provider's website. We support these four DDNS server providers:
9299.org, 3322.net, www.dyndns.com, www.everfocusddns.com
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of setting up
your IP cameras.
