engeniusddns.com” and “ooooooo.engeniusddns.com” can be used to access this camera.
Refresh Time: options are 3HRs, 6HRs, 9HRs, 12HRs and 24HRs. DDNS server needs to synchronize with your IP address often so
that you can access your device over the Internet with DDNS name. Depends on your Internet Service provider, your WAN IP address
lease time will be different. You can check with your local Internet Service provider for WAN IP address refresh time. The default
setting is 24 HRs (which means DDNS server will check the synchronization every 24 hours). Normally, the default setting 24 HRs is
okay for most cases.
DDNS Status: when working properly, it should show “Connected”.
Note: DDNS will only work only if your gateway/router is connected to the Internet. If gateway/router is not connected to the
Internet, your DDNS status will show “Disconnected”.
