2.2.4 Dynamic DNS
If your ISP does not give you a fixed Internet IP address (i.e. the Internet address you‟re
using when you access the Internet is not always the same – ask your ISP for detailed
information), you can use this function to help you locate the IP address of this IP camera
when you‟re away from home or office.
Before you can use this function, you‟ll need to apply for an account at dyndns.org
(http://www.dyndns.org). Detailed instructions of how to apply a new account can be found
on dyndns.org‟s website.
The descriptions of every setting in this menu will be given below:
