3.8.4 DDNS server

DDNS: Stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server
The Internet Camera supports DDNS If your device is connected to xDSL directly, you might need
this feature. However, if your device is behind a NAT router, you will not need to enable this
feature. Because DDNS allows the Internet Camera to use an easier way to remember naming
format rather than an IP address.
The Internet uses DNS servers to lookup domain names and translates them into IP addresses.
Domain names are just easy to remember aliases for IP addresses. A dynamic DNS service is
unique because it provides a means of updating your IP address so that your listing will remain
current when your IP address changes. There are several excellent DDNS services available on
the Internet and best of all they're free to use. One such service you can use is www.DynDNS.org.
You'll need to register with the service and set up the domain name of your choice to begin using it.
Please refer to the home page of the service for detailed instructions or refer to Appendix E for
more information.
