Ddns - EverFocus EMV1200 FHD User Manual

7.3.4.5 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:
http://www.everfocusddns.net and www.dyndns.com.
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.net for the simplicity of
setting up your mobile DVR.

Note that the DNS Server 1 (7.3.4.1 LAN) should be set up correctly or the DDNS will not work.
DDNS Service: Select EverfocusDDNS from the drop-down list.
DVR 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, or a dot (period) or any special
characters particularly _~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . ,
