default to allow specific applications required by your computers or devices to allow
connections through your router as they are needed.

Identify your network on the Internet

Administrator > Management
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and
other devices on your local area network.
