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 mobile DVR.
DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the mobile DVR, 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 mobile DVR 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 two DDNS server providers:
www.everfocusddns.com and www.dyndns.com.
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of
setting up your mobile DVR.

Note that the DNS Server 1 (6.6.1 LAN) should be set up correctly or the DDNS will not work.
DDNS Service: Select EverfocusDDNS from the drop-down list.
MVR Name: Input the desired name for the mobile DVR, and you can enter up to 32 letters. If
the length of the name exceeds the text field size on the OSD, you can move your cursor onto
the text field to display the entire name on the OSD.
Note that the name of the mobile DVR cannot include a space, underline or any special
characters particularly _~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . ,
Save: Click to save the settings.
Note:
1. It is not necessary to append the HTTP port number to the DDNS name. The EverFocus
DDNS server not only keeps track of your mobile DVR's IP address, but also keeps track
of the ports.
2. You can go to http://www.everfocusddns.com to check the DDNS name can be
registered or not.
