SoloLink DDNS

The SoloLink DDNS screen allows you to set up and configure your SoloLink DDNS Service. DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. If you have already set up your SoloLink account, then you can use this screen to register additional Cameras. For instructions, go to the “SoloLink Registration of Additional Cameras” section on the following page.

NOTE: If you use the Camera’s DDNS feature, then you must also configure the port forwarding feature on your network router. Go to www.linksys.com/portfwd for instructions on how to configure a Linksys router. For other routers, refer to your router’s documentation.
