The SoloLink DDNS screen allows you to set up and configure your SoloLink DDNS Service. DDNS (Dynamic
Domain Name System) lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. If you
have already set up your SoloLink account, then you can use this screen to register additional Cameras. For
instructions, go to the “SoloLink Registration of Additional Cameras” section on the following page.
