This section explains how to configure the dynamic domain name service for the Network Camera. DDNS is a service that allows your Network Camera, especially when assigned with a dynamic IP address, to have a fixed host and domain name.

Express link

Express Link is a free service provided by VIVOTEK server, which allows users to register a domain name for a network device. One URL can only be mapped to one MAC address of a network camera. This service will examine if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router. Without using DDNS, a user has to manually check out UPnP port forwarding configuration. Using Express Link is easier and more convenient.

Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:

1.Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated.

2.Check Enable express link.

3.Enter a host name for the network device and click Save. If the host name has been used by another device, a warning message will show up. If the host name is valid, it will show a message as shown below.
