2.8.1 DynamicDNS Service (IPv4/IPv6)
DynamicDNS allows you to choose an easy-to-remember address (such as
"bob.viewnetcam.com") that you can use to view images from your camera over the
Internet. This service is compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Some
DynamicDNS service is not compatible with IPv6 address.
What is the advantage of DynamicDNS service?
In order to view camera images over the Internet, you need to know your camera's
global IP address. However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign their
customers a "dynamic" IP address that changes monthly, weekly, or each time they
log on. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address (an IP address that
does not change periodically) by your ISP, you may find it difficult to access your
camera over the Internet because your IP address changes periodically.
Viewnetcam.com service allows you to access your camera even if your assigned
global IP address changes.
