DDNS SETUP
The DVR5100 allows you to configure DDNS for your application. DDNS is a service that maps Internet domain names to IP addresses. DDNS
serves a similar purpose to DNS. DDNS allows anyone hosting a Web or FTP server to advertise a public name to prospective users (refer to
Figure 38). Refer to Table R on page 70 for more information on DDNS settings and defaults.
DNS only works with static IP addresses. DDNS works with dynamic IP addresses, such as those assigned by an Internet service provider (ISP) or
other DHCP servers. The DVR5100 DDNS feature is suitable for applications that receive dynamic, frequently changing IP addresses from a
service provider.
