7 EVERFOCUS DDNS SETUP
Setup Steps:
Step 1. Set up the Network Menu according to the instructions detailed in the Networking chapter. (Make sure that DNS Server 1 is set correctly or DDNS will not work)
Step 2. Go to the website http://everfocusddns.com and check for an available name.
Note: This step is optional, though recommended, as it is used to check the availability of a host name. If the name is already used, and attempt to register that name must fail. If the name is available, proceed to step 3 for DDNS setup.
Step 3. In DVR’s Network Menu, go to DDNS. Choose “EverfocusDDNS” for the Server and put in your chosen name in the field: DVR Name.
PLEASE NOTE: The name of the DVR cannot include a space, or a dot (period) or any special characters particularly ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) + < > " ; : . , _
Step 4. Press “Register/Update” button to synchronize the DVR with the DDNS server. You should see an indication of “Success” on the screen. If you see “Could Not Find Server” or any other error message instead,
