2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings in the "Network" screen of the Camera.
3. Operation is then automatic:
•
The Camera will contact the DDNS server whenever it detects a change in the Internet
IP address, and inform the DDNS server of the new address.
•
Internet users can connect to your LAN using the domain name allocated by the
DDNS service provider.
Gateway/Router Setup
Your gateway/router must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP) connections from
viewers to the Camera. The gateway/router uses the port number to determine which incoming
connections are intended for the Camera.
This feature is normally called "Port Forwarding" or "Virtual Servers," and is illustrated
below. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the gateway/router that incoming TCP
connections on port 1024 should be passed to the Camera. If necessary, check the user manual
for your gateway/router for further details.
