First you create a free account with one or both of these companies. We’ll take
www.no-ip.com as an example. The “create account”function is on the top right under
the Username/ Password fields. Do not register a domain or sign up for any other paid
services. You just need the free account. Once you have an account and once you
validated it by responding to their email, log in and select”Hosts/ Redirects” on the top
left of the screen, then “Add Host”. For Hostname, pick anything you like as a name for
your camera, except do not use spaces. Use only lower case letters and numbers.
Then click on the domain names you can pick from, as well as some that they consider
premium names worth paying for.
For example, you could pick servehttp.com as your demo cameras.
Create a free DDNS account
Then be sure that only“DNS Host (A)”is selected. Don’t worry about the current IP
address and don’t change anything else. Click on“Create Host”and you’re done!
Please write down your complete hostname as well as the username and password
you used for logging in to No-IP.com as you’ll need it for the next step.
DynDNS.com is very similar but in their case there is an additional step of checking
out a shopping cart with a zero dollar fee.
Updating of your Camera’s Internet IP address
In the previous step we set up a name for your camera. To make sure that this
hostname always corresponds to the correct IP address for your camera we have to
make sure it is updated automatically when there is a change.
There is no need for client software.
Our IP cameras have a menu that allows you to enter your hostnameDDNS
information.This menu is under“ ”in the camera’s“ ”.DDNS Network Settings
Be sure to select the provider, for instance if you signed up with No-IP.comDDNS
you should select No-IP in the camera’s menu.DDNS
