Commercial ISPs provide their customers with dynamic addresses (IP numbers). These
numbers can change from time to time depending upon your service provider. When they do,
you will lose the ability to remotely access your DVR from your mobile phone or other out-of-
network device. To prevent this from happening, we recommend using a Dynamic Domain
Name Service (DDNS). This will give you a domain name that can be linked to your IP address
and will automatically – and invisibly – forward remote connections to your network when the
IP address changes.
Q-See offers DDNS for free at
MyQ-See.com
. Create a domain name, user name and
password before proceeding.
DynDNS.com
also offers a similar free service. This is covered
in-depth in the
Remote Monitoring Guide
.
Select the box in the DDNS field to enable
DDNS. You will then enter the user name,
domain name and password you created into
the appropriate fields. You can also select the
interval in days at which the DDNS checks to
see whether your IP address has changed.
Intervals range from every 30 minutes to once
a day.
You can now access the DVR remotely by inputting that domain name into the web browser.
