IP Camera User Manual
Finally, log into your IP camera via its IP address and click
4
the "Options" link. Once on the options page, click "DDNS
Service Settings" and fill in the details of your DynDNS
account.
Once this is done, you will have remote access to your IP
camera via a combination of the domain name you have
registered and the IP camera port number, e.g.:
http://soipcam.dyndns.org:81
NB As an alternative to using the IP Camera as an update client you can use the DDNS option in your router to do
this. This will keep your new Dynamic DNS host up-to-date with your network's external IP address. If your router
has a section for DynDNS.com (sometimes DynDNS.org), this is an update client. Enter your username, password and
hostname, and the router will tell us when your IP changes so that your Dynamic DNS host will always be correct.
