7.2.3 DDNS
If you via your Internet provided have a dynamic IP address instead of a
permanent IP address you may with help of a dynamic DNS server connect a
domain name to your external IP address.
The camera automatically contacts and updates the DNS server with the new IP
address if your Internet provider is assigned a new IP address. The dynamic
domain name that way becomes always updated towards your IP address.
An example on a dynamic DNS server is dyndns.org where you can register free
of charge for a dynamic domain name.
N.B:
If your router has a feature for dynamic DNS this may be used instead for the
camera’s DDNS feature.
Enable DDNS Mark to activate the feature.

are using.
