To set ddNS

DDNS is an abbreviation of Dynamic Domain Name Service that converts the IP address of a camera into a general Host Name so that the user can easily remember it and enables connecting a camera with a fixed Host Name even if the IP address of the camera may be dynamically changed.

1 Click <NETWORK> <DDNS>.

The DDNS window appears.

2 To complete the setting, click the [Apply] button.

The settings are saved.

If Samsung’s DDNS service is selected, the Host Name is automatically generated using the camera MAC address.

A camera MAC address consists of <One among from lower-case alphabet characters of c, m and p> + <Last 6 digits of the MAC address> + <websamsung.net>.

The lower-case alphabet letter becomes <c> if the first 6 digits of the MAC address is <00:00:f0>,

<m> if <00:16:6c>, and <p> if <00:68:36>.

Example) - If the MAC address of a camera is 00 : 00 : f0 : ff : fe : 42, c + fffe42 + websamsung.net = cfffe42.websamsung.net

-If the MAC address of a camera is 00 : 16 : 6c : ff : fe : 42, m + fffe42 + websamsung.net = mfffe42.websamsung.net

-If the MAC address of a camera is 00 : 68 : 36 : ff : fe : 42, p + fffe42 + websamsung.net = pfffe42.websamsung.net

To use another DDNS service, sign up a DDNS site that is supported by a camera and use it with the user ID and password you have specified when you sign up the site.
