DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Instead of having to type in the IP address to access the DVR online you can use DDNS to create an easy to remember
website name. The DVR has a DDNS provider web address built into it. The following instructions are for DYNDNS.org.
DYNDNS.org is not owned nor operated by DEFENDER and therefore support for DYNDNS.org will be done through
their website.
To Configure the DVR to Work with DDNS:
1. Press Menu on the DVR and select "NETWORK".
2. Highlight and select "DDNS setup".
3. In the drop down menu next to "DDNS", highlight and select to "ON".
4. In the drop down menu next to "Server", highlight and select "dyndns".
5. Fill out the host name, user name and password that you use for the DynDNS account you will create in the
following pages.
