4.When you enter your DynamicDNS address in your web browser while away from home or the office, the DNS server looks up the global IP address assigned to your DynamicDNS address.

5.The DNS server finds your current global IP address and allows you to connect to this product.

Notes

Ask your ISP about what type of IP address you are using.

Some ISPs assign you a local IP address. In this case, you cannot use the DynamicDNS service.

If this product is using a port number other than 80, the port number must be specified at the end of the DynamicDNS URL. For example:

Using port 80: http://(Cameraname).viewnetcam.com

Using any other port: http://(Cameraname).viewnetcam.com:Port
