Ddns Settings - GeoVision GV-Compact DVR V2 User Manual

4.7.6 DDNS 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 in the GV-Compact DVR V2:
GeoVision DDNS Server (http://ns.dipmap.com/register.aspx) and DynDNS.org
(http://www.dyndns.com/).
STATE: Enable the DDNS function.
PROVIDER: Select the DDNS service provider you have registered with.
HOSTNAME: Enter 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.
USERNAME: Enter a valid user name used to enable the service from the DDNS.
PASSWORD: Enter a valid password used to enable the service from the DDNS.
