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. This service will check out if the host name is valid and automatically open a port on your router. Unlike DDNS, the user has to manually check out UPnP port forwarding, Express Link is more convenient and easy to set up.
Please follow the steps below to enable Express Link:
1.Make sure that your router supports UPnP port forwarding and it is activated, or you may see the following warning message: “Express link is not supported under current network environment.”
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.
