Dynamic DNS

If you have a DSL or Cable service provider that changes your modem IP address
periodically, Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Service), a method of keeping a
domain name linked to a dynamic IP address, is useful. With most Cable and DSL
connections, you are assigned a dynamic IP address and that address is used only
for the duration of that specific connection. With the DCS-5222L/DCS-5211L, you
can set up your DDNS service and the DCS-5222L/DCS-5211L will automatically
update your DDNS server every time it receives a different IP address. Depending
on the service, this update may take a few hours.
Enable DDNS: Check this checkbox to enable the DDNS function of the camera.
Server Address: Use the drop down box on the right to select a DDNS service.
Host Name: Type in the Host Name of the DDNS service.
User Name: Enter your User Name for the DDNS service.
Password: Enter the password for the DDNS service.
Confirm Password: Retype the password for the DDNS service.
Timeout: This sets the number of hours between DDNS updates.
Status: Provides a status of enabled or disabled
After making any changes, click the Save Settings button to save your changes, or click the Don't Save Settings
