Dynamic DNS (DDNS)

Digital Watchdog’s standalone recording units allow users to connect remotely through the use of a DDNS address, rather than having to consistently check and use the Public IP Address of the network.

Despite its convenience, DDNS connection issues may arise due to networking issues involving the port forwarding in the recording unit’s local router(s) or local networking issues.

 

Supported/Affected Devices

  • VMAX Series (960H Analog)
  • VMAX A1 Series (2.1 MP)
  • VMAX A1 Plus Series (5 MP)
