3.14 Dynamic DNS
If NetCam SC is behind a DSL or cable modem connection and
the public IP address changes, you can use tzo.com as a dynamic DNS
service. This maps your dynamic (i.e. always changing) IP address to
a static hostname of your choice (i.e. yourcompany.stardotcams.com
or yourname.remotecam.com).
Why is knowing your public IP address valuable? If your router is
configured to "port forward" port 80 to the camera's local IP address,
you can browse to the camera directly from anywhere on the Internet.
This is useful for viewing the camera live and making configuration
changes from a remote location. For information on configuring port
forwarding on a router, visit http://www.portforward.com, click on
routers, select your model and click on "Default guide".
To set up a TZO account, visit http://stardot.tzo.com. After you've
signed up, enter the appropriate information in either NetCam SC or
your router (if it supports DDNS).
