DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many Internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address
is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a
connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN
using a domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can
then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS Setting screen in the
Network setting menu.
3. Operation is then automatic:
• The ICA-650 will then automatically contact the DDNS server whenever it
detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the DDNS server
of the new IP address.
• Internet users can then connect to your LAN using the Domain Name
allocated by the DDNS service provider.
• Limitation: if the ICA-650 is installed with private IP address behind the NAT
router, please find and enable the DDNS feature on the router. This can
prevent the remote users not able to connect to the camera.
• Current supported DDNS service provider:

Router/Gateway Setup for remote viewing
Your Router or Gateway must be configured to pass incoming TCP (HTTP)
connections (from remote viewers) to the ICA-650. The Router/Gateway uses the Port
Number to determine which incoming connections are intended for the ICA-650.
This feature is normally called Port Forwarding or Virtual Servers in the router. The
Port Forwarding/Virtual Server entry tells the Router/Gateway that incoming TCP
connections should be passed to the ICA-650. If necessary, check the user manual for
your Router/Gateway for further details.
