Internet Access, Viewing Cameras & How it Works
The emergence of high speed internet service in the late 90's brought about the use of static and dynamic IP addresses.
These addresses allow users to connect to the internet through Internet Service Providers (ISP). The addresses work just
like the mailing address for your home or business. It is the internet address your computer uses while it is connected to
the internet.
Both static and dynamic addresses work in similar ways. They both allow you access to the internet. But static addresses
never change. Every time you access the internet you have the same address or IP. Dynamic addresses can change
each time you connect to the internet. Because of this, dynamic addresses cause a problem when tying to link to the
same computer multiple times through the internet. The address or IP for the computer you are trying to access can
randomly change making it impossible for the remote computer to find the other computer through the internet. All internet
providers will issue Dynamic IP address to their customers. Static IP addresses are considered an additional service and
cost an additional monthly fee. Because of this you must choose to pay your internet provider for a static IP address or
sign up for our EZWatch IP service which eliminates the need to pay for a static IP. We highly recommend using the
EZWatch IP service because it usually saves you money and it allows our support technicians to proved complete trouble
shooting support.
EZWatch IP Service:
The high cost of static IP addresses and their limited availability is why we have created our EZWatch IP service. This
service eliminates the need for static IP addresses. It only requires a normal internet connection at both computers and
the service greatly simplifies the set up process. EZWatch IP continuously monitors the IP address of the DVR and when
you want to remotely view your cameras the service automatically redirects you to the IP address the DVR/Camera
Server is currently using. The cost of our service is a one time set up fee of $99.00.
How EZWatch IP Works:
The EZWatch IP service allows you to custom create a domain name on our server. You simply type that domain name
into the address bar on your web browser and the EZWatch IP service automatically redirects you to your DVR/Server
anytime you want to log into your system to view and control security cameras. This service greatly simplifies the remote
viewing set up.
