To set up DDNS:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > DDNS.
2. Check the Enable DDNS box to enable the feature.
3. From DDNS type, select one of the DDNS types listed:
• ezDDNS: Enter the host name or click Apply to obtain it. If the host name is not
known, click the Get URL button. The URL address to access the unit is then
displayed (the host name must already have been registered with ezDDNS). If
no host name is specified, the DDNS will allocate one automatically.
The maximum length for the host name field is 63 characters. This limit does not
include tvn-ddns.net. An example of a host name could be max63chars.tvr-
ddns.net.
• NO-IP: Enter server address (for example, dynupdate.no-ip.com). In the host
name field, enter the host obtained from the NO-IP web site. Then enter the user
name and password that are registered with the No-IP network.
• DynDNS: Enter the server address for DynDNS (i.e. members.dyndns.org). In
the NVR domain name field, enter the domain obtained from the DynDNS web
site. Then enter the user name and password registered in the DynDNS
network.
Note: The values for the default gateway, preferred DNS, and alternate DNS must
also be filled in on the main Network page in order for the DDNS to correctly
function.
4. Click Back to return to live view, or continue configuring the network settings.
NTP server setup
A Network Time Protocol (NTP) server can also be configured on your NVR to keep the
date and time current and accurate.
Note: If the device is connected to a public network, you should use an NTP server that
has a time synchronization function, such as the server at the National Time Center (IP
Address: 210.72.145.44) or europe.ntp.pool.org. If the device is setup in a more
customized network, NTP software can be used to establish an NTP server used for
time synchronization.
To set up an NTP server:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > NTP.
2. Check the Enable NTP box to enable feature. It is disabled by default.
3. Enter the NTP settings:
• Interval: Time in minutes to synchronize with the NTP server. The value can be
between 1 and 65535 minutes. Default is 60 minutes.
• NTP Server: IP address of the NTP server.
