Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do, you will lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of- network device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the IP address changes.

Q-See offers DDNS for free at MyQ-See.com. Create a domain name, user name and password before proceeding. DynDNS.com also offers a similar free service. This is covered in-depth in the Remote Monitoring Guide.

4.6 USER MANAGEMENT

You can set up accounts for each individual user and grant them control of select parts of the surveillance system. An administrator account is already created on the DVR. Additional accounts can be created for users but only one administrator account is allowed.

To add a user select the Add button and the ADD USER window will open. It will have two tabs; General and Authority

Select the box in the DDNS field to enable DDNS. You will then enter the user name, domain name and password you created into the appropriate fields. You can also select the interval in days at which the DDNS checks to see whether your IP address has changed. Intervals range from every 30 minutes to once a day.
