4. Setting up DDNS Service
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the capability for a networked device using the Internet
Protocol Suite to notify a DDNS host to change the active DNS configuration of its hostnames or addresses.
This is a useful feature that your Q-See IP Camera is equipped with and can be helpful in avoiding any issues
that might occur due to frequent or unplanned changes to your Public/WAN IP address. Enabling DDNS on
your Q-See IP camera will allow you to connect to your device through a DDNS host such as myq-see.com. In
order to facilitate this ability on your Q-See IP Camera, you must first set up Port Forwarding as directed in
the User Manual for this device. Once you have enabled Port Forwarding, you can configure your DDNS
information by following these steps:
a. Using a computer that is connected to the same network as your Q-See IP Camera, use your IE Browser
to go to myq-see.com.
b. Click on the New User? Link at the bottom of your page (http://myq-see.com/reg.asp).
c. Complete the registration process by following the on-screen directions and click the [Submit] button at
the bottom of your screen (Figure 14).
(Figure 14) (Figure 15)
d. The next screen will ask you to create a domain name. Domain names must start with an (a-z) or (0-9)
and cannot contain a hyphen. Once you choose your domain name, click on the [Request Domain]
button. This will generate a confirmation screen which tells you if your Domain name is available and list
an IP address (Figure 15). Verify that this is your current IP Address by going to www.myipaddress.com
and checking that it is the same address listed in your confirmation screen (Figure 15).
e. Once you have completed steps a-d, log on to your Q-See IP Camera by going to [START ALL
PROGRAMS CONTROL CENTER IPTOOL] on your Windows Start Bar and following the directions
illustrated in Figures 5 and 6.
