Appendix Advance Network DDNS and PPPoE Technologies The advantage of using DDNS and PPPoE is to save the cost of IP address. H.264 AVC AiP camera’s PPPoE service gets a dynamic global IP address after system reboot. This IP address may get changed periodically. This is the address needed to access the video server over Internet.
Advance Network Port Forwarding Technology Port forwarding technology is an advanced network technology which is widely used for using one global IP shared by many network devices. The network architecture is illustrated as below. Port 80 of the router (192.168.0.10) is assigned to the device IP address, 192.168.0.10.
