5.4.2.3. DDNS
DDNS stands for Dynamic Domain Name Server. This technology is used to automatically
update name servers in real time to help the camera maintain a persistent address despite
changes in location or configuration. What this means is that even when the camera is
restarted, moved, or reconfigured, it can keep the same IP address, thus allowing remote
users uninterrupted access to the camera, rather than having to request a new IP address
to use for remote access anytime a change is made.
To use this feature, users will need to setup an account with a DDNS service. The camera
supports a variety of DDNS services such as Quick DDNS, NO-IP DDNS, CN99 DDNS, and
Dyndns DDNS. Based on which service is selected, different options may show on this
screen. For purposes of this guide, AmcrestDDNS will be used. AmcrestDDNS is a free
DDNS service provided by Amcrest, and it must be renewed every year. A renewal
reminder email will be sent to the email entered in the username field below.
Below is a screenshot of the DDNS settings screen, configured to AmcrestDDNS:
