User manual
(b) Setting up your DVR to work with the DDNS server
1) The DDNS server will work only if
the three steps are completed; (1)
domain registration, (2) correct
network configuration with correct
preferred/alternate DNS servers,
and (3) correct port forwarding
configurations are set on the local
network (your router).
2) On the DVR Under Main menu => Settings => “Config” => “Network” set the correct
DNS servers;
For example take a look at the correct settings on the figure below; the router's IP address is
10.0.0.138, the e-mail account registered is bob@gmail.com, and the host domain registered is
"home.provision-isr-dns.com".
3) As shown on figure above: Check the “DDNS” check box, select “mintdns” for DDNS
type, and fill in all the other fields.
4) Make sure you have the preferred & alternate DNS servers filled in (under the “Network”
settings section): the preferred server should be the Internet gateway and the alternate
server should be a different DNS server– for example one of Google's DNS servers (IP
8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4)
5) Click the “Test” button
a. If the test succeeds click the “Apply” button
b. If the test fails check all fields again or call the support helpline
6) Now you can access the DVR using the DDNS (http://home.provision-isr-dns.com)
