Confirming Internet access

Due to the router's specifications, the image may not be displayed even if you access the camera from your PC on the same LAN as the camera. In this case, try:

Accessing from a PC on another network (see page 15)

Accessing from your mobile phone (see page 30)

2.4.1DynamicDNS Service

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.

What are the advantages of DynamicDNS 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 Viewnetcam.com service allows you to access your camera even if your assigned global IP address changes.
