Network - Setting Up Your DDNS Account
There are two ways to find your DDNS Configuration information at a later date.
Option #1: Review the Email sent to you by Lorex:
Dear A,
Thank you for activating your free Dynamic DNS account for your Lorex DVR Combo. Once you have set up your Lorex device and configured your network, you will be able to view your video images from anywhere in the world using the URL shown at the end of this message.
When you visit the Lorex web site at: https://secure.lorexddns.net/webapp
Your account name is: aa321
Your account password is: 1111
Your Lorex license number is:
You can visit this site to change your account information and to set up additional Lorex devices.
Set up the Lorex DVR Combo to use this service as follows:
On the monitor console (or from the remote control) press the
DDNS SERVER NAME: | LOREX |
DOMAIN NAME: | your domain |
USER ID: | your user ID |
USER PASSWORD: | [your password] |
DDNS STATUS: |
|
OK CANCEL |
|
Press DDNS STATUS button and wait for the message 'SUCCESS'. If the message returns 'SUCCESS' press OK and press the return button to exit the menu (when you do, the DDNS set up for the first time system will prompt you to save the changes and restart the system).
Note: if you receive a failed message, please check the information that you have entered.
For more information please refer to the remote client manual.
*** Important ***
Please note that normal latencies in the update protocol and Internet propagation delays require you to wait between 5 and 15 minutes and sometimes even longer for your network URL to become fully available and operational over the Internet. This is normal for the DDNS system. Attempting to use the URL within the first 5 minutes of registration may also prolong the URL update time.
The URL for accessing your video is: holycats.lorexddns.net. When setting up the Lorex client software for remote access, use this URL in place of the IP Address. If you have decided to use the free Lorex Email Service (default option) for any system event notifications and alerts, you must register with lorexddns.net and activate the DDNS option in the System's Set Up / Network menu.
Alternatively, you can use your own email service by disabling the default mail service and entering your personal mail server information in the System's Set Up / Mail menu.
Thank you for choosing Lorex.
Sincerely,
Lorex Customer Support
