DDNS & UPnP 

“Enable DDNS” This option turns on the DDNS function. 

“Provider” The provider list contains four hosts that provide DDNS services. Please 

connect to the service provider’s website to make sure the service charges. 

“Host Name” If the User wants to use DDNS service, this field must be filled. Please 

input the hostname that is registered in the DDNS server. 

“Username/E-mail” The Username or E-mail field is necessary for logging in the 

DDNS server or notify the User of the new IP address. Note: when this field is input 

as “Username” the following field must be input as “Password”. 

“Password/Key” Please input the password or key to get the DDNS service. 

“Enable UPnP” This turns on or off the UPnP function. When UPnP is turned off, the 

camera cannot be found through network neighbors in MS Windows XP. If the UPnP 

network component is installed in Windows XP, the hostname of the Network Camera 

will be shown with bracketed IP address in the Network neighbors. Ex: Network 

Camera (xxx.xxx.xxx.96). That is: The hostname of the Network Camera is “Network 

Camera ”, and the IP address of the Network Camera is xxx.xxx.xxx.96, depends on 

the last value of the IP address assigned to the Network Camera. 

“Save” Click on this button to save current settings for the DDNS service and UPnP 

function.
