DDNS (Dynamic DNS)
Many internet connections use a "Dynamic IP address", where the Internet IP address
is allocated whenever the Internet connection is established.
This means that other Internet users don't know the IP address, so can't establish a
connection.
DDNS is designed to solve this problem, by allowing users to connect to your LAN
using a domain name, rather than an IP address.
To use DDNS:
1. Register for the DDNS service with a supported DDNS service provider. You can
then apply for, and be allocated, a Domain Name.
2. Enter and save the correct DDNS settings on the DDNS screen of the FCS-
1091/WCS-1090.

3. Operation is then automatic:
• The FCS-1091/WCS-1090 will automatically contact the DDNS server
whenever it detects that the Internet IP address has changed, and inform the
DDNS server of the new IP address.
• Internet users can then connect to the camera using the Domain Name
allocated by the DDNS service provider.
