Setting up dynamic DNS
Dynamic DNS is used to assign a persistent
domain name to a device. The device allows
to update Domain Name System to a point to
a changing IP Address in automatic regime.
Example of setting up Dynamic DNS service on
no-ip.com:
• Register on no-ip.com or login using an
existing account.
• Create a host on no-ip.com: “Add Host”.
Host parameters: Hostname - name of
host , type: DNS Host (A), Ip Address: do
not change, it will be automatically updated
by device.
• Go to web-interface of monitoring device
“Preferences”->”Network”. Select “Enable
DynDNS”. Select service: No-ip (www.
no-ip.com), type in Login, Password and
Hostname which you put in no-ip.com.
Save settings “Save”.
• The device should update the IP address
for the Hostname host after 1 minute. You
can check this in the no-ip.com service.
After some time the service will match IP
address and Hostname.
• Using the Hostname in the browser open
the web-interface of the device. If the host
does not work try to use IP address which
will install the device on the no-ip.com
service for the Hostname. If IP address
does not work as well, this can happen if
port 80 is closed and does not allow to host
a server in your local network.
