TZO Dynamic DNS
If NetCam is behind a DSL or cable modem connection and the public
IP address changes, you can use tzo.com as a dynamic DNS service. This
maps your dynamic (i.e. always changing) IP address to a static hostname
of your choice (i.e. yourcompany.stardotcams.com or yourname.remotecam.
com).
Why is knowing your public IP address valuable? If your router is
congured to “port forward” port 80 to NetCam’s local IP address, you can
browse to NetCam directly from anywhere on the Internet. This is useful for
viewing the camera live and making conguration changes from a remote
location. For information on conguring port forwarding on a router, visit
www.portforward.com.
To set up a TZO account, visit http://stardot.tzo.com. After you’ve
signed up, enter the appropriate information in either NetCam or your router
(if it supports DDNS).
Weather Station
StarDot offers an optional mini weather station (AUX-WX2) that plugs
into the back of NetCam. It’s a great way to capture and display the current
temperature, humidity and barometric pressure. To view the weather data,
add one or more of the markup tags in your overlay text:
${C} Degrees in Celsius
${F} Degrees in Fahrenheit
${HUM} Humidity Percentage
${MB} Millibars
${HGIN} Inches of Mercury
${HGMM} Millimeters of Mercury
Example: ${F}°F ${HUM}%% ${HGIN} in.
