2.8.1 DynamicDNS Service (IPv4/IPv6)

DynamicDNS allows you to choose an easy-to-remember address (such as

"bob.viewnetcam.com") that can be used to view images from your camera over

the Internet. This service is compatible with both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. Some

DynamicDNS service is not compatible with IPv6 address.

What are the advantages of Dyna micDNS service?

In order to view camera images over the Internet, you need to know your camera's

global IP address. However, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign their

customers a "dynamic" IP address that changes monthly, weekly, or each time they

log on. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address (an IP address that

does not change periodically) by your ISP, you may find it difficult to access your

camera over the Internet. The Vi ewnetcam.com service allows you to acce ss your

camera even if your assigned global IP address changes.

How the DynamicDNS service works

1. Your ISP assigns a global IP address to your Internet access account that

changes periodically. This is the address needed to access the camera over

the Internet.

2. When your ISP-assigned global IP address changes, your camera

automatically notifies the DynamicDNS service server of the new address in

the DynamicDNS. The camera notifies the DynamicDNS service server of the

new address in DynamicDNS in the following cases.

• When starting the camera

• When an update interval time has been set

• When clicking the [Save] button

3. The DynamicDNS server contacts the Domain Name System (DNS) server

and registers your new global IP address to your chosen DynamicDNS

address (such as "bob.viewnetcam.com").
