[Dynamic DNS Server Settings]
DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) provides a convenient way of accessing the
GV-Compact DVR V2 when using a dynamic IP. DDNS assigns a domain name to the unit, so
that the Administrator does not need to go through the trouble of checking if the IP address
assigned by DHCP server or ISP (in xDSL connection) has changed.
Before enabling the DDNS function, the Administrator should apply for a Host Name from the
DDNS service provider's website. There are 2 providers listed on the GV-Compact DVR V2:
GeoVision DDNS Server and DynDNS.org.
To enable the DDNS function:
1. Enable: Enable the DDNS function.
2. Service Provider: Select the DDNS service provider you have registered with.
3. Host Name: Type the host name used to link to the GV-Compact DVR V2. For the users
of GeoVision DDNS Server, it is unnecessary to fill the field because the system will
detect the host name automatically.
4. User Name: Type the user name used to enable the service from the DDNS.
5. Password: Type the password used to enable the service from the DDNS.
6. Click Apply.
[HTTP Port Settings]
The HTTP port enables connecting the GV-Compact DVR V2 to the Web. For security
integration, the Administrator can hide the server from the general HTTP port by changing the
default HTTP port of 80 to a different port number within the range of 1024 thru 65535.
[HTTPS Settings]
By enabling the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS) settings, you can access the
camera through a secure protocol. You can use self-generated Certificate and Private Key or
the ones verified by the SSL authority. Click Browse to locate the Certificate and Private Key
files and type the password if the .pem files are protected by password. Click Apply. The Web
interface will be restarted and you will need to log in again.
Note: The .pem file format is supported by Certificate and Private Key.
