host name for easy access to your network camera.

the registration process first. 
• If the camera is already registered at the Dynamic DNS Service and its IP address changes, 
the DNS service must be updated with this new IP address.   
• These regular updates will always occur at the set interval, with no regard to whether 

automatic updates have been configured or not.
