    DDNS Support. In order to view video over the Internet, users must know the Internet IP address of the gateway used by the FCS-0010/WCS-0010. But if the Gateway has a dynamic IP address, DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is required. Since many existing Gateways do not support DDNS, this function is incorporated into the FCS-0010/WCS-0010.

    This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers, and is illustrated below. The Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP connections on port 1024 should be passed to the FCS-0010/WCS- 0010 Network Camera. If necessary, check the user manual for your Router/Gateway for further details.
