| When the UPnP function is enabled, the camera can be detected by a UPnP |
UPnP | compliant system such as Windows XP. The camera will be displayed in |
| Network Neighborhood, within Windows XP, so you can click on the camera |
| directly to view the video through the web browser. |
| DDNS is an acronym for “Dynamic Domain Name Server”. Many Internet |
What is DDNS? | connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address is allocated |
| dynamically whenever the Internet connection is established. This means that the |
| Internet IP address can change periodically. An Internet user would need to know |
| his/her Internet IP Address every time he/she wanted to connect to the camera |
| remotely over the Internet (i.e. from outside his/her LAN). DDNS is designed to |
| solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to their LANs using domain |
| names, rather than IP addresses. The domain name never changes. For instance, |
| “yahoo.com” is an example of a domain name that corresponds to an Internet IP |
| address. Rather than accessing this site by typing its Internet IP address in the web |
| address bar, users simply type: http://www.yahoo.com. Similarly, you can use a |
| DDNS service to assign a domain name for your camera. |
Enable/Disable | Please use the camera’s web UI (see pg. 59 of this user’s manual) or the Quick |
| Setup Wizard (see pg. 21 of the Quick Installation Guide for instructions) to |
| set up the DDNS service. |
