DDNS
Service


Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the capability for a networked device using the Internet
Protocol Suite to

notify a DDNS host to change the active DNS configuration of its hostnames

or addresses.
This is a useful feature

that your Q
-
See IP Camera is equipped with and can be helpful in avoiding any issues
that might occur due to frequent or unplanned changes t
o your
Public/WAN IP address
.
Enabling DDNS on
your Q
-
See IP camera will allow you
to connect to your device through a DDNS host such as
myq
-
see.com
. In
order to facilitate this ability on your Q
-
See IP Camera, you must first set up Port Forwarding as
directed in
the User Manual for this device. Once you have enabled Port Forwarding, you can configure your DDNS
information by following these steps:


a.

Using a computer that is connected to the same network as your Q
-
See IP Camera, use your IE Browser
to go to
myq
-
see.
com
.

b.

Click on the New User? Link at the bottom of your page (
http://myq
-
see.com/reg.asp
).

c.

Com
plete the registration process by following the on
-
screen directions

and click the [Submit
]

button at
the bottom of your screen (Figure 14
)
.




















(Figure 14)

(Figure 15)


d.

The next screen
will ask you t
o create a domain name
. Domain names must start with an (a
-
z) or (0
-
9)
and cannot contain a hyphen. Once you choose your domain name, click on the [Request Domain]
button. This will generate a
confirmation
screen which tells you if your Domain name is available and list
an I
P address (Figure
1
5
). Verify that this is
your current IP Address by going to
