Dynamic DNS

Recommended Posts

Hello and Happy New Year,

 

I wanted to find out if it's possible to view the DVR online when you have dynamic IP from your ISP? If so, how do I set it up?

 

Thanks

Hi, what you need to do is purchase a router if you dont already have one, look for Linksys for example, may as well get a wireless one. Goto the setup tab and look for DDNS, there should be a couple websites listed, such as DynDns.org. Sign up for a free account at one of those sites, and create your "name" (eg. myname.gotdns.com).

 

After your account is setup, enter the login info and your DDNS name into that section in the router and it will then keep the name updated with your Dynamic IP. You would then use that name to connect to the DVR instead of the IP.

 

Note though, some DVRs dont allow you to enter a name, only an IP. In that case you would manually have to login to your DDNS account on their website and check the latest IP if and when it changes, or use software such as from No-IP.com to alert you when it changes.

 

Further information on setting up the router can be found in this thread:
