3.3.11 DYNAMIC DNS
If you use an Internet subscription with a dynamic IP address or a GPRS connection, you do not have the
chance to offer remote access services because the ISP or phone company assigns a different IP address to
the device each time.
To solve this problem, as already described in the previous pages, at each connection the Vega Video
GPRS notifies the IP address for the current connection by SMS.
Another solution is provided by the services available on the Internet called
Dynamic DNS
, which give the
chance to reach the device at any time, with any IP address however registered on the Internet, by using an
address such as
yourname.dyndns.org
.
The DDNS services allow to associate a domain name to an IP address dynamically.
In order to use these services you must fill-in a free or pay registration on the web page of the servers
providing these services. One of the most famous servers renowned for the Dynamic DNS management is
