AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service

AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service provides a one-click procedure that makes the AXIS
231D available on your local network and over the Internet. On installation, the AXIS
231D will receive a URL (web address), which can then be used to access it. The Network
Dome Camera can be unregistered from the service at any time.
Please visit www.axiscam.net for more details on AXIS Internet Dynamic DNS Service.
