When the UPnP function is enabled, the camera can be detected by a UPnP
compliant system such as Windows XP. The camera will be displayed in
Network Neighborhood, within Windows XP, so you can click on the camera
directly to view the video through the web browser.
DDNS is an acronym for "Dynamic Domain Name Server". Many Internet
connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated
dynamically whenever the Internet connection is established. This means that the
Internet IP address can change periodically. An Internet user would need to know
his/her Internet IP Address every time he/she wanted to connect to the camera
remotely over the Internet (i.e. from outside his/her LAN). DDNS is designed to
solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to their LANs using domain
names, rather than IP addresses. The domain name never changes. For instance,
"yahoo.com" is an example of a domain name that corresponds to an Internet IP
address. Rather than accessing this site by typing its Internet IP address in the web
address bar, users simply type: http://www.yahoo.com. Similarly, you can use a
DDNS service to assign a domain name for your camera.
Please use the camera's web UI (see pg. 59 of this user's manual) or the Quick
Setup Wizard (see pg. 21 of the Quick Installation Guide for instructions) to
