Ddns - EverFocus VANGUARD 16x8 User Manual

5.4.4.3 DDNS

You can configure the DDNS setting on this page. 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 DVR.
DDNS assigns a domain name (URL) to the 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 DVR will automatically update the information to the DDNS to ensure it is always
available for remote access.
Note that before enabling the following DDNS function, user should have applied for a host
name from the DDS service provider's website. We highly recommend that you use
xxxx.everfocusddns.net for the simplicity of setting up your DVR. Please refer to EverFocus
DDNS on the next page.
