7.4. Accessing the Camera over the Internet Using DynDNS service

7.4.1. Overview of Internet Access to Cameras Using DynDNS service

If a computer is assigned a temporary IP address changing from one session to the next, it
means the computer is assigned a dynamic IP address. Many ISPs use this type of addressing.
However, in order to access a device over the Internet any time, you need to contact your ISP and
ask them to assign a static IP address, or use a Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service.
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to make your cameras accessible over the Internet
even though they are assigned a dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. All
external users can always access the camera using its domain name.
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to access your camera over the Internet using its
domain name, which might be similar to www.camera1.dvrdns.org, instead of an IP address.
To do so, create an account at the DDNS server website such as www.dyndns.org, enter
your camera's current IP address and choose a domain name that will be used to access your
camera.
When either the IP address is changed or a new connection is established, the ISP assigns
your camera a new IP address. Then it is processed by the software built into the camera and sent
to the DDNS server. The DDNS provider ties the domain name you chose to the dynamic IP
address.
For this example, we use the following DDNS provider: www.dyndns.com. To tie a domain
name to the IP address of your camera, follow the steps below:
 Create an account at
 Choose a domain name for your camera – [Hostname]. You can use any domain name
that is not already being used. For this example, we use camera184 and thus have the
following domain name: www.camera184.dvrdns.org.
 Set up your equipment.
