Ddns Settings - EverFocus 288 Series User Manual

7.1.1.3. DDNS Settings

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. For setting up the DDNS function, please refer
to Appendix E. Setting up DDNS
Before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host name from the
DDS service provider's website. We support these DDNS server providers:
www.everfocusddns.com, members.dyndns.org, ddns.oray.org, dynupdate.no-ip.com,
members.3322.org and www.dnsdynamic.org
Note: We highly recommend that you use xxxx.everfocusddns.com for the simplicity of
setting up your IP cameras.
Enable DDNS: Check the box to enable DDNS function.
Service: You can either apply for a host name from EverFocus or other DDNS server providers
(Dyndns, PeanutHull, NO-IP, 3322 and DnsDynamic). If you choose the EverFocus DDNS server,
you can obtain a free host name from EverFocus.
From EverFocus: To obtain a free host name from EverFocus, type a desired host name in the
Domain field (there is no need to enter username / password).
From other DDNS server providers: To obtain a domain name from one of the three DDNS server
providers, you have to register your name with the provider first, and then select the provider
Function.
