DDNS
Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These
numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. This will not
affect your connection using Scan N' View. However, if you are using the CMS or NVMS
software - or another method of remote monitoring - these changes will cause you to lose
the ability to remotely access your NVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-network
device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name
Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address and
will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the IP
address changes.
Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.
com. Create a domain name, user name
and password before proceeding. DynDNS.
com also offers a similar free service.
This is covered in-depth in the Remote
Monitoring Guide.
Select the box in the DDNS field to enable DDNS. You will then enter the user name, domain
name and password you created into the appropriate fields. You can also select the interval
at which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP address has changed. Intervals range from
every 30 minutes to once a day.
You can now access the NVR remotely by inputting that domain name into the web browser.
