6.2.3 DDNS Setup
If you have a broadband connection that gives you a dynamic IP address (very common), you should set up a DDNS
account so the camera will auto update with a web service every time your IP address changes.
This is also one of the easiest ways to view your camera online from anywhere in the World, so is a highly recommended
step.
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is simply a way of using a static hostname to connect to a dynamic IP address. When connected to
your ISP, you are assigned a temporary IP address. DDNS services keep track of your IP address and route your Domain
name to that address when you wish to connect to the camera from a remote location.
[DDNS Enable] Enable or disable DDNS connection. Check the box to enable.
[DDNS Type] Select a provider from the drop down list. Make sure you sign up with one of listed service provider’s and
register your own personal host name. Please follow the instructions on the provider’s site, and then return to this page
to enter the details.
[DDNS Host] Enter the host name you have registered. (E.g. yourname.no-ip.com)
[User Name] Enter the user name for the account you registered with the service provider.
[Password] Enter the password for the account you registered with the service provider.
[Re-type password] Re-confirm the password.
Now you have setup an easily accessible external address for your camera, you now need to setup and confirm an
external port for your camera. This is covered in the UPnP section.
If you have only just registered your DDNS account, it may take a while until your account is
activated and fully registered on the internet. Some of the DDNS services listed offer free and
paying services. A free account is more than adequate for a Y-cam to use.
