Once you have registered for free DDNS service, use the information in the confirmation email to
configure DDNS settings on your system
You can enter your DDNS information directly on your system (recommended) or using the built-in
remote surveillance software. If using
the

your DDNS on your local network (i.e. not over the Internet).
To enable DDNS on your system:
1. Open the MAIN MENU and click
ADVANCE
.
2. From the Advanced Setup menu, click NETWORK.

om the WAN settings
of your router in the MANUAL DNS field. See “Manual DNS” on page 26.

INGS.
5. Under DDNS, select ON.
6. Under SERVICE, select LOREX.
7. Under DOMAIN NAME, enter only the firs
t portion of your DDNS domain from the
confirmation email. For example, if your domain name is tomsmith@lorexddns.net, you only
need to enter
tomsmith
in the text field.
8. Enter your Lorex DDNS user name and password in
the respective fields.
NOTE: Obtain this information from the confirmation email after registering for the free Lorex DDNS
service.
9. Click APPLY. Click CLOSE in the confirmation window.
10. Click EXIT in all
menus until all windows are closed.

power cable.
