4.5.2. DDNS
User can use the DDNS server provided by Digital Watchdog (MYDWDDNS.NET) to connect
with the DVR remotely.
DDNS Server
Digital Watchdog offers free and dependable DDNS service support. This allows you to assign
the DVR a URL address rather than a long-complicated IP Address. This simplified the
connection process to the DVR. The DDNS service is supported by DW® and is free of charge for
our customers.
To set up DDNS, configure the following information then click the [SAVE] button.
• Use DDNS: Check this box to enable the use of DDNS address for remote
communication with the DVR.
• DDNS Server: Select “MYDWDDNS.NET”
• TCP/IP Port: The default is 80. You do not need to change this setting if you are
using the DDNS service provided by Digital Watchdog. Use the port information
from the
Network
menu.
• Host Name: Assign a domain name for your DVR (Ex. DVROFFICE). If the domain
name is unavailable, a message will pop up when you click [CHECK]. A random
hostname can be automatically assigned by clicking [AUTO GENERATE].
IP Mapping and External IP
If you are using IP Mapping and Port Forwarding (e.g., using a router for Internet connection),
enable both [Use Device IP Mapping] and [Use External IP] for proper connection.
Setting at the remote software (C3™ CMS)
In the menu of Site List Add/Edit, input DDNS Address and Port number.
• The address of the DDNS server is “mydwddns.net” and the Port is “80”.
• Setting at a web browser: The user can type the DVR’s mac address +
MYDWDDNS.NET. If you are using a subdomain name, type the domain name +
MYDWDDNS.NET.
o Example 1 - If Mac address is “00:1C:84:01:00:02” input as
“http://001c84010002.mydwddns.net”
o Example 2 - If the domain name is “DVROFFICE” input as
“http://DVROFFICE.mydwddns.net”
