Instead of having to type in the IP address to access the DVR online you can use DDNS to create an easy to remember
website name. The DVR has a DDNS provider web address built into it. The following instructions are for DYNDNS.org.
DYNDNS.org is neither owned nor operated by DEFENDER therefore support for DYNDNS.org will be done through
their website.

1. Access the menu on the LCD-DVR, then, select “NETWORK.”
2. Navigate to and select “DDNS setup.”
